The Tierra Nova Foundation supports producers of sustainable coffee and tea. We believe that it is possible to produce coffee and tea in a sustainable and healthy way for man and the environment, so farmers and plantation workers can have a decent life, now and in the future.
Our goals
The Tierra Nova Foundation main goals are promotion of sustainable coffee and tea production and the improvement of social conditions of coffee and tea producers.
How we achieve our goals
We achieve our goals by (co)financing:
- Projects to improve the quality of coffee and tea and the yields as well as protect the environment;
- Research on product diversification in those areas where, in the future, coffee and tea production might not be viable anymore;
- Education and training projects;
- Housing and nutrition programs for farmers and plantation workers.
