Spotlight on Ecotierra's Carbon Credit Projects

At ElevaFinca, we're committed to not only providing you with exceptional green coffee products but also ensuring that our practices contribute positively to the environment and communities we serve. Today, we're thrilled to shine a spotlight on Ecotierra's innovative Carbon Credit Projects, which embody our shared values of sustainability and social responsibility.



Insights into Socio-Economic and Environmental Benefits


Alejandro Angulo Duarte, Forestry and Climate Change Specialist at Ecotierra, sheds light on the socio-economic and environmental benefits generated by our Carbon Projects. These initiatives, classified as Nature-Based Solutions, are designed to address urgent global challenges. By mitigating climate change through emissions reduction, promoting sustainable agroforestry systems, and protecting biodiversity, we're not only combating climate change but also improving food security and enhancing quality of life for communities.


Flexibility and Inclusivity in Grouped Carbon Projects


Ecotierra ensures inclusivity and flexibility in its projects by actively engaging with local stakeholders and partners. By considering local circumstances and collaborating closely with small producers, we tailor our projects to meet the specific needs of each community. This collaborative approach ensures that our initiatives are effectively adapted to local conditions, fostering success and sustainability.


Key Activities and Utilization of Carbon Offset Revenues


Our projects encompass a range of activities including reforestation, avoided deforestation, and improved forest management, all aimed at generating carbon offsets. The revenues generated are utilized in collaboration with participants and partner organizations to support technical assistance, sustainability in forestry and agroforestry systems, and to incentivize producers. These activities contribute to the overall well-being of communities and the preservation of vital ecosystems.
