The Coffee Agroforestry and Forest Enhancement for REDD+ [CAFÉ-REDD] will reduce deforestation and forest degradation by addressing the conversion of forest to agriculture in the Lang Biang landscape. CAFE-REDD is funded by the German Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservationand Nuclear Safety [IKI-BMU] and run from 2018 to end 2021, with the total funding budget of approximately EUR 1.8 million.
The project has the following specific result areas: i] Developing a multi-stakeholder public-private partnership for forest landscape conservation and restoration and strengthened institutional capacity for climate smart landscape governance; ii] Engaging the private sector in monitoring and traceability systems to promote deforestation-free coffee supply chains, and; iii] Working with local ethnic minority communities and smallholder farmers to promote sustainable coffee production, including reduced coffee expansion and the promotion of coffee-agroforestry models and the development of alternative livelihood opportunities for young people.
