What Is Forest Coffee?
Forest coffee is cultivated under the canopy of biodiverse forests. This approach mimics natural ecosystems, combining coffe plants with a variety of trees, shrubs, and crops. The result? Coffee farms that regenerate soil, capture carbon, and support wildlife.
Unlike traditional farming, which often depletes resources, nature-growing systems enhances soil fertility, reduces the need for chemical inputs, and provides a resilient system against climate change. For coffee lovers, it’s not just about better coffee – it’s about a better planet.
Which companies are working with forest coffee?
At GrowGrounds, we have developed a system to produce coffee from the forest using syntropic agroforestry methods. However, we also support the efforts of other coffee brands, such as Slow Forest Coffee and Ønsk Kaffe, which are also doing remarkable work with coffee grown in forest ecosystems.
The Role of Sustainable Coffee Production
Global coffee farming faces significant challenges due to climate change, soil degradation, and deforestation. Sustainable coffee production offers a scalable solution by integrating Nature-Growing principles, including:
- Enhanced biodiversity: Encouraging the return of beneficial insects, birds, and wildlife.
- Healthier soil: Restoring nutrients through organic matter and reducing erosion.
- Carbon capture: Trees and vegetation act as natural carbon sinks, mitigating greenhouse gas emissions.
- Economic resilience: Multi-cropping provides additional income from timber, fruit, and other crops alongside coffee.
Which coffee brands are advocating for and working with sustainable coffee?
Fortunately, many coffee brands are now supporting sustainable coffee production, often by incorporating forest coffee into their supply chains. At GrowGrounds, we collaborate with leading brands such as Peter Larsen Kaffe, Löfbergs, Stellini Kaffe ApS, Meny Kaffe and others to drive the transition toward more sustainable coffee farming.
Why Choose Forest Coffee?
The concept of coffee made in a forest focuses on quality over quantity. Coffee plants grow at their natural pace, shaded by trees, which enhances their flavor while preserving the environment. This approach ensures that every cup of coffee you enjoy supports sustainable harvest coffee practices and contributes to restoring nature.
