Context
The project assessed the potential for a national carbon program within the coffee sector, aiming to support the transition to low-carbon, climate-resilient practices across diverse producer types. It evaluated the applicability of AFOLU methodologies—REDD+, ARR, and ALM—based on land tenure, landscape composition, and levels of industrialization, with the goal of aligning carbon opportunities with sustainable agricultural transformation.
Our Expert Role
Matched AFOLU categories to producer profiles; conducted GHG baselining; identified permanence and social risks; developed field surveys and digital data tools; engaged stakeholders across the coffee value chain to assess readiness and co-design participation frameworks.
Outcomes Delivered
Mapped carbon potential across regions and producer types; informed future program design; enabled multi-level stakeholder engagement; laid groundwork for registration under high-integrity standards.
