Our vision and methodology
The DE Foundation aims to further sustainability in mainstream coffee and tea production (the prevailing volumes and qualities), working in particular with small-scale producers. In projects lasting on average four years, we help them to improve the quality of their produce. We also support the implementation of sustainable practices and create market access with better prices.
