Based out of Utrecht, the Netherlands, Solidaridad has worked since 1969 to ensure both producer support and sustainable supply chains in a number of agricultural sectors. Solidaridad fights to ensure that coffee is not only grown in an environmentally conscious way, but that those small-scale coffee farmers which depend on growing coffee for their living can do so safely and profitably. Solidaridad is working to go beyond just certification for sustainably-managed coffee farms, and in 2016 developed multiple proofs of concept in Mexico, Columbia and Peru that combined higher and more consistent productivity and quality with more environmentally-conscious farming methods.
