Sustainable Coffee Production Project

Bhoomi Sustainable Development Society (BSDS) is actively implementing the Sustainable Coffee Production Project in Alur, Sakaleshpur, and Mudigere taluks of Hassan and Chikmagalur districts.

BSDS recognizes the importance of coffee farming as a livelihood for many families and seeks to promote practices that enhance productivity while preserving environmental integrity.
2. Community Benefits: By engaging with 400 families, the project aims to bring tangible benefits to coffee-growing communities. These benefits include improved agricultural practices, increased awareness of sustainability issues, and access to appropriate technologies that enhance productivity and efficiency.

Through farmer field schools and other educational initiatives, the project facilitates the transfer of relevant technologies and best practices to enhance coffee cultivation methods.
4. Partnership with NKG Jayanti Coffee: The collaboration with NKG Jayanti Coffee Private Limited underscores the importance of private sector engagement in promoting sustainability within the coffee industry. By leveraging the expertise and resources of the private sector, BSDS aims to maximize the impact of the project and ensure its long-term success.

Through capacity-building activities, farmer training programs, and collaborative decision-making processes, the project seeks to strengthen the resilience and self-reliance of participating families.
6. Environmental Conservation: Sustainable coffee production goes hand in hand with environmental conservation. BSDS emphasizes the adoption of practices that minimize environmental impact, such as shade-grown cultivation methods, soil conservation measures, and biodiversity preservation.
7. Long-term Impact: By fostering sustainable coffee production practices, BSDS aims to create lasting benefits for both farmers and the environment. The project’s success will contribute to the economic prosperity of coffee-growing communities while preserving the natural resources on which they depend.
