Coffee Related Projects
In its efforts to connect coffee production to environmental conservation, Bariguna is collaborating with Joel Kaburu, a former Forest Ranger and now producer of specialty coffee micro-lots. Due to his work with fauna and flora in the national parks, he has a keen interest in experimenting with organic cultivation, special processing and sustainable use of resources. He advises the project on experimental and innovative technologies to use the by-products of coffee processing.
Through the partnership with a German specialty importer and an environmental NGO we have been able to raise premiums and link farmers to the “Green Future Project” which offers technical support in building bio-gas digesters for cooking gas, rain water catchment tanks, training in the production of organic fertilizers and pesticides and general soil conservation methods.
