  • Carble – Rewarding Smallholder Coffee Farmers for Storing Carbon
    on 29 Sep '22

One of the main drivers of climate change is deforestation. If tropical deforestation was a country, it would rank 3rd in CO2 emissions, only behind China and the United States of America. Carbon emissions from land-use change are so high that in most cases they make up two-thirds of the total carbon footprint of a bag of roasted coffee.
