Agroforestry
"More trees, more life, better coffee."
Cofinet has a nursery dedicated to native trees of Colombia. When they reach 1-2 years, they share them with their producers for free. Cofinet encourages small growers to plant them throughout their coffee plantation.
The native trees pull nutrients from the soil and share them with the coffee, which requires fewer chemicals like fertilizer in the soil.
