Together, we can change coffee farming.

The solution is fairly simple: we need to  restore coffee as a product of nature. But we need you!


Get your team, co-workers or business partners involved in the mission by inviting Lars Aaen Thøgersen to talk about why the coffee industry is broken and how it can be fixed.

We need to change how we grow coffee. We need to change agriculture. Coffee growing today is faced with multiple challenges. It affects climate change. And it is hugely affected by climate change..

But it used to be different. And we can change it. Bring it back to what it came from. Back to nature. And by doing this, we can make coffee growing economically attractive for coffee farmers in the world’s coffee regions.

Coffee used to be a product of nature. It used to grow in dense vegetation, but the industrialization of agriculture during the 20th century made coffee become a monoculture. Forests and vegetation were cut down. Coffee trees were placed in rows without competing vegetation. Artificial fertilizers and pesticides were introduced as efficient replacements for natural ecosystems. Productivity went up. The system was efficiently running.

But then it changed. It turned out that initial efficiency came with a price. Coffee farmers were operating at a loss. Forests were deforested. Nature was destroyed. And even the coffee plants began to react. They became more sensitive to diseases and pests. The system was broken.

We need to restore coffee as a product of nature. We know how to do it.

Your business can be part of the change.
