Connected
Coffee
Chain
Every coffee cup has a story to tell. From the farmers cultivating the beans to the roasters creating the fullest flavor and every step in between, the coffee value chain connects us.
Leveraging LDC’s experience, global reach and supply chain expertise, the Stronger Coffee Initiative builds coalitions and increases opportunities for all our partners to investing in a stronger future – for coffee, for people and for the environment we all depend on.
Through this initiative, we drive sustainable coffee growth by:
Building farmer prosperity
Empowering farmers communities to succeed and thrive
Reducing carbon emissions
Acting at farm level to mitigate climate change
Regenerating soil health
Working with farmers to increase agrobiodiversity
Facilitating coalition-led investments
Forging partnerships to increase impact at farm level
