Nescafé publishes today its first Nescafé Plan 2030 Progress Report, with results showing that farmers are gradually adopting regenerative agricultural practices and improving farming yields. The results are based on an impact assessment conducted by Nescafé in partnership with the Rainforest Alliance, from 2018 to 2022, and among more than 7’000 coffee farmers in 14 countries from where Nescafé sources its coffee.
Recently adopted practices include intercropping, mulching and integrated weed management. In 2022, the Nescafé Plan 2030 farmer trainings on regenerative agricultural practices reached more than 100’000 farmers in 14 countries. In addition, 1.4 million trees were planted in and around coffee farms that supply coffee to Nescafé, providing shade to prevent coffee’s over-exposure to the sun and additional revenue sources for farmers.
Philipp Navratil, Head of Nestlé’s Coffee Strategic Business Unit said: “The Nescafé Plan 2030 Progress Report shows the potential of regenerative agriculture to help make coffee farming more sustainable over the long term. We are supporting coffee farmers to make this transition and are giving them the know-how and tools they need to increase yields and income, while helping reduce carbon emissions at the same time.”
