Environmental program

Within the frame of the Environmental Dimension of the FNC Value Strategy, this program contributes to care of ecosystems and adaptation of production systems to climate variability through integrated management of river basins.

For this purpose, the FNC channels efforts in land use that combine coffee farming with agroforestry arrangements, forest plantations and hedges, together with actions of conservation and care of natural forests under a management and planning approach that favors connectivity of the biodiversity habitat in the coffee regions. Sustainable production practices that reduce water use and pollution, rationalize the use of agrochemicals, reduce organic and inorganic waste, and conserve soil are also promoted and implemented.
