Climate solutions that restores nature, reduces emissions, and improves farmer livelihoods
We support and lead the coffee industry in converting monoculture farms into resilient, nature-growing agroforestry systems.
Our method restores ecosystems, captures and reduces CO₂ emissions, and gradually eliminates the need for synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.
At the same time, farmers gain new opportunities to create value and grow their income – making coffee both more sustainable and more resilient.
Our reach and impact keep growing – restoring more nature, empowering more farmers, and capturing more carbon year by year.
GrowGrounds develops projects that transform coffee farming into a force for climate and community resilience. Each project is rooted in collaboration with local farmers, cooperatives, and partners – and designed to deliver measurable results for nature, climate, and livelihoods.
From Kenya and Uganda, where thousands of smallholders are converting to agroforestry, to Brazil, where syntropic farming is pioneering a new way of cultivating coffee, and Mexico, where innovative partnerships support biodiversity and premium coffee – our projects prove that change is possible.
We help coffee farmers convert to carbon-positive agroforestry by planting trees, training farmers and promoting organic farming.
Through this conversion we improve soil health, enhance biodiversity, and capture CO2 turning coffee into a carbon-positive crop.
Captured carbon is converted into Carbon Reduction Units (CRU) for insetting or trading through climate partners.
Farm improvements and new revenue streams, including 80% of the CRU’s revenue, flow back to farmers enabling further improvements in practices and livelihoods.

An urgent challenge for coffee’s survival.
Coffee faces a global paradox: demand is set to triple by 2050, yet land suitable for coffee is already disappearing. Across producing countries, farms are being converted into soy, cattle – or even coca fields. If we do nothing, coffee will become scarcer, more expensive, and in the worst case, unavailable to millions of consumers.
At the same time, millions of coffee farmers are trapped in poverty by monoculture systems that deplete soil, reduce yields, and destroy biodiversity.
At GrowGrounds, we close this paradox gap by transforming monoculture into regenerative agroforestry. This not only restores nature and captures carbon – it also improves farmer livelihoods by creating new revenue streams and long-term resilience.
