🌟 A Journey of Coffee Rejuvenation: Farmers’ Voices #1 🌟 🎥 Yesterday, we officially launched the video showcasing coffee farmers’ inspiring journey to rejuvenating their coffee farms! 🌱✨ 🌍 Meet Mana Alda, a dedicated coffee farmer from Letefoho. For the past five years, she has been transforming her farm through coffee rehabilitation—and the results speak for themselves! 💬 Mana Alda shares: "Before, even we have harvested coffee in the large farm, we can only earn $200, $400 USD. But now we can get $800 or $1,000.” 🌟 Curious about how rejuvenation is changing farmers’ lives?  Learn more about their stories and experiences here!  https://lnkd.in/gqWJtv22  #CoffeeRejuvenation #TimorLesteCoffee #FarmersVoice #SustainableFarming  #AustraliainTimorLeste Palladium: Make It Possible Swisscontact

Meet Mike: The 20-Year-Old smallholder Coffee Farmer Defying Odds Today, I want to shine a light on a young farmer named Mike in a photo with me. Mike is 20 years old, juggling his studies while managing his plot of coffee land. Born with a hearing problem and unable to speak, Mike has a unique story. I've been buying coffee from his father for some time, but this year marked the first harvest of Mike's own coffee. Despite his challenges, Mike's enthusiasm for robusta coffee growing is inspiring. Young farmers like Mike need more encouragement. Coffee farming can provide one of the few viable opportunities in these villages. One major issue in coffee growing is the aging farmer population and this is a common problem throughout the coffee growing communities. As a strong believer in the value of coffee, especially robusta. I'm passionate about encouraging young farmers. We need more young people like Mike growing coffee for Blue Turaco and beyond. They hold the key to the future of coffee. If you’re a retailer already listing BLUE TURACO COFFEE in your shops, you're making a huge difference for these young farmers - and if you are a buyer from a retailer who has not yet listed BLUE TURACO COFFEE - by listing our coffee you will be opening new huge doors. If you’re a roaster, coffee shop owner, or responsible for stocking your office with coffee, we need to talk. Your collaboration with us could unlock the next generation of young farmers as we build volumes. Let's work together to ensure a thriving future for coffee. Let's connect if you like what I share Wycliffe Sande #blueturacocoffee #smallholderfarmers #youngcoffeefarmer #coffee

Our partner communities of restorers in Pintag (Ecuadorian Andes) and Mushullakta (Ecuadorian Amazon) are taking a powerful step toward economic independence and food security by revitalizing the practice of product bartering. By revitalizing this ancestral system, they engage in exchanges where money is not involved. Instead, products are traded based on each community’s possibilities and needs, strengthening their bonds and enhancing the variety of food and resources they share. At Humans for Abundance, we believe these efforts are driving meaningful, lasting social and economic change.

Matooke. In Buganda, matooke is more than just food; it is a symbol of identity, hospitality, and culture. This steamed banana dish holds a sacred place in the hearts and kitchens of the Baganda people, showcasing their deep connection to the land and their traditions. Matooke is the centerpiece of most meals, served during ceremonies, celebrations, and everyday family gatherings. It symbolizes wealth, as the size and health of a man’s banana plantation traditionally reflected his prosperity. Hosting a guest without serving matooke is considered unthinkable it represents generosity and respect. Preparing matooke is an art passed down through generations. Fresh, green bananas are peeled, wrapped in banana leaves, steamed until soft, and gently mashed. The dish is often paired with groundnut sauce, beef stew, or beans, making it versatile and delicious. Beyond its role on the plate, matooke holds agricultural importance. Banana plantations provide food security and income, reflecting the Baganda people’s intimate relationship with their environment. In a rapidly changing world, matooke remains a constant, uniting families and communities while preserving Buganda’s rich heritage. #tribe56

This festival also plays an important role in supporting our local economy. Jani Purnima is a special day for many small businesses and farmers. The demand for barley, sacred threads, and ingredients for traditional foods like Quaty helps keep our markets busy. By buying these items, we’re helping local farmers and shopkeepers thrive.
