Ethiopia: Coffee Canopy Partnership Launches East Africa Pilot to Tackle Coffee Linked Deforestation
A new international initiative aimed at addressing coffee related deforestation has been launched with an East Africa pilot that includes Ethiopia, Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Burundi and Rwanda. The Coffee Canopy Partnership, initiated by JDE Peet’s and developed with a group of major coffee companies, seeks to create what is described as the world’s first comprehensive and openly accessible map of global coffee production. The project is intended to improve the identification of deforestation risks, support landscape restoration and protect the livelihoods of smallholder farmers across coffee growing regions.
