💨 Abstract

On International Coffee Day, Ecuador announces a new certification for "Deforestation-free coffee." This initiative guarantees consumers that no forest land has been harmed during production, promoting sustainable agriculture and protecting ecosystems. The United Nations Development Programme supports this program, which benefits over 70,000 local coffee producers, including 40% women. The project aims to strengthen local communities and create long-term economic opportunities while protecting forests and boosting productivity.
