PHOTODUMP TANZANIA 🇹🇿
Last week our impact manager Meine was in Mbinga, southwest Tanzania. The region where Wakuli started, and where we still work closely with farmers every year.
Together with local coffee farmers, cooperatives and soil experts, we spent two weeks working on regenerative farming practices. Think composting, liquid fertilisers, organic pest control and rebuilding soil health naturally. Not through expensive chemical inputs, but by strengthening the ecosystem on and around the farm.
For decades, farmers here were advised to remove everything from their land that wasn’t coffee. Trees disappeared, biodiversity disappeared and soils slowly became dependent on artificial fertilisers and pesticides. year after year it is becoming harder to maintain yields with costs ever increasing.
Now global instability is pushing fertiliser and transport prices up even further, making the current system even harder to sustain for farmers living harvest to harvest.
And they know it : they’ve seen the soil change with their own eyes. They notice fewer insects, weaker harvests and increasing dependency on agrochemical companies. And when regenerative alternatives actually work on their farms, most are eager to make the switch.
This trip reminded us again that the future of coffee is regenerative. Want to read more about this topic? Read our Progress Report (link in bio).
