Info
This one comes from Apolo, an indigenous region in northern Bolivia (La Paz department) that had never commercially grown or exported coffee until Cafe Kreyol and the Wildlife Conservation Society helped build a model around ecological preservation and sustainable income. Cafe Kreyol works directly with five indigenous communities here who speak a form of Quechua that predates the Incas. One of them, the Trinidad community, roughly 85% women farmers, transitioned entirely from growing coca to coffee, the heart of the “Cocaine for Coffee” project.
