More coffee = more biodiversity
Growing coffee is hard work. But if you do it right, not only can you produce a delicious energy booster – you can also help the environment.

Growing coffee is hard work. But if you do it right, not only can you produce a delicious energy booster – you can also help the environment.
Following a successful test phase in 2023, we're now sourcing avocados from Kenya. The East African country came into consideration due to concerns about water.
In 2022, date production in Tunisia went through a major crisis. The reasons were complex, ranging from climate change to panicked farmers using pesticides. But there is a happy ending for nature.
Wine that's sold in bag-in-box packaging is often viewed as inferior – unfairly so! We've added quality wines from two Swiss producers to our range, all packaged as boxed wine, which offers several advantages.
Every year, around 2500 people are involved in drying our mangos from Burkina Faso. We create value where it is urgently needed thanks to external processing.
Agroforestry has been a key development in sustainable and organic agriculture for some time. But it's still much further along in theory than in practice. This is why our Greek partner Anyfion is cultivating a test and demonstration field. We took a closer look at the field in October 2022.
Those who care about the environment usually strive to eat seasonal fruits and vegetables, grown outdoors and harvested when ripe. But when is that exactly, and how big of an impact does transport have? A closer look reveals unexpected answers.
Switzerland once had over 15 million standard trees. Today, Swiss fruit is grown on half-standard trees or bush trees. And only a small percentage is organically grown. But what does all this mean exactly? We spoke to two producers to find out.
Skaya, our Tunisian almond and pistachio supplier, has been engaged in organic farming for around 20 years. It is nonetheless difficult to find more organic producers. This is due to a lack of infrastructure and subsidies, but also due to the mindset.
In coffee production, the soil, location and climate of the regions in which our coffee is grown determine its taste. But what happens to the coffee immediately after harvesting plays an equally important role when it comes to aroma. And this is where the honey processing method stands out.
