Grow coffee plants under the shade of trees

Shade-grown coffee promotes the preservation and restoration of tropical forests by maintaining tree cover in coffee-growing regions. This directly contributes to tropical forest restoration efforts, which are crucial for carbon sequestration and biodiversity conservation.

Growing coffee under the shade of trees is a form of agroforestry, a practice that integrates trees and shrubs into agricultural landscapes. Agroforestry is recognized by Project Drawdown as a solution with significant potential to sequester carbon, improve soil health, and enhance biodiversity.

Climate Wave Coffee Solutions promotes sustainable agricultural practices, reducing the environmental impact of coffee production and fostering more responsible consumption and production patterns in line with SDG 12.

Shade-grown coffee preserves forest ecosystems, enhances biodiversity, and protects wildlife habitats, directly contributing to the conservation and sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems as emphasized in SDG 15.

By promoting shade-grown coffee, this initiative directly addresses deforestation, a significant contributor to climate change, thus supporting efforts to combat climate change outlined in SDG 13.
