lASTING IMPACTS
Dedicated to change.
The Alliance for Resilient Coffee (ARC) is a consortium of seven leading non-governmental organizations and research institutions. ARC members are integrating their experiences with the objective to align the latest climate research and practical tools to unlock investments from the coffee sector in climate-smart agriculture. Each of our partners brings expertise and knowledge from different areas into the project. It allows us to develop climate action in a much more holistic way, including interventions on farm level, regional level, providing financial opportunities to farming families and strong input from research organizations.
The Alliance for Resilient Coffee is currently generating climate data, developing new decision-making tools and implementing practical climate adaptation trainings for extension agents and coffee farmers throughout Central America and East Africa.
Climate change is threatening the entire coffee supply chain from farm level to a global context.
ARC offers the industry the opportunity to adapt. With the latest climate research and expertise, ARC provides the solution on how you can successfully take action. Coffee farmers can adapt and become resilient to climate change if and only if they correctly implement climate- smart practices into their farms.
ARC provides tailored services, on–farm intervention, co- investment opportunities and different partnerships. These make it possible for you to make your coffee value chain resilient by investing in climate – smart agricultural practices.
