ECOLOGICAL, INCLUSIVE, EMPOWERING

We improve the livelihoods of tribal farmers by paying them a fair price for the wild forest coffee they grow. 

With access to land, training, and the market they break their reliance on podu farming, planting trees that restore the natural eco-system.

By paying a competitive price, we have attracted over 200 tribal farmers to form Producer Groups bypassing middlemen and money lenders to sell direct.

With the help of the District Administration, we plan to reach 6000 tribal farmers by 2031; increasing the area under cultivation and safeguarding their rights as forest dwellers under the Forest Regulation Act (2006).  

By planting silver oaks for shade and fruit and spice varieties for biodiversity, tribal farmers are now active in protecting their forest and the bright future it promises.
