Super proud that Angelique Kerber together with our partner Lavazza supports the planting of coffee trees in the climate project, we are implementing in the Yayu Biosphere Reserve in Ethiopia.Ohne Kaffee kann der Tag bei mir nicht losgehen…. ☺️ ☕️ Aber Kaffee trinken und gleichzeitig etwas Gutes tun? Das geht mit den LAVAZZA Eco Caps. Nicht nur weil die Kapseln voll kompostierbar sind, sondern weil damit auch eine Aktion für den guten Zweck unterstützt wird. Schreibt mir, wie ihr euren Kaffee morgens am liebsten trinkt und Lavazza spendet gemeinsam mit der Hanns R. Neumann Stiftung Kaffeepflanzen für eine gute Sache. Wenn ihr mir außerdem eure Lieblingssorte der LAVAZZA Eco Caps nennt, habt ihr die Chance, ein Meet & Greet mit mir zu gewinnen. ☺️

This #COVID19 crisis shows us the importance of investments into the livelihood of smallholder coffee farmers worldwide.
Recognizing that the global pandemic will influence rural areas and agriculture for months to come, we are looking ahead to address the challenges smallholder farming families around the world are and will continue to face as a result of the crisis.
Our global team remains firmly committed and connected with smallholder families. Long-term steps need to be taken to foster the livelihood of smallholders, secure coffee production and stable supplies. We are organizing activities and developing new approaches that allow us to work as remotely and effectively as possible, while protecting the health and responding to the needs of smallholder families.
