GLOBAL COFFEEPLATFORM

In 2020, the Brazil Country Platform seeks to expand sustainably produced coffee through active sector engagement and commitment of members and partners towards a higher adoption of sustainable practices by coffee growers.

An active platform with tools for members and one active Member Initiative on the Responsible Use of Agrochemicals, the platform in seeks to add another initiative in 2020 and to generate greater commitment for real change.

“At GCP Brazil in 2020 we hope to consolidate the GCP tools for continuous improvement, specially expanding the adoption of the CSC App and IMS; advance the Responsible Use of Agrochemichals Member Initiative, reaching more growers and accelerating results at field level, while working to launch a new Initiative based on the improvement of living and working conditions in coffee. It is going to be a busy year!”

“We look forward to strengthening the relationship with current GCP members and attract new members to commit to sustainability in their areas of action, sharing responsibility and collaborating for the development of pre-competitive sustainability efforts in Brazil.”
