WHAT IS INSETTING AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
The negative effects of climate change can be seen in coffee growing regions Climatic conditions reduce and affect the productivity, quality, yields and livelihoods of coffee growers.
The need for change and greater resilience in the coffee community is evident.
Agroforestry is an ancient agricultural technique that is being rediscovered in the fight against the climate and natural crisis. Agroforestry is the intentional combination of trees and shrubs with crops (and also livestock) to create a resilient ecosystem that benefits farmers, biodiversity and the climate.
Planting native trees in coffee plantations and surrounding landscapes offers multiple benefits.
Its plant cover protects the crop from bad weather. Trees sequester carbon, removing it from the atmosphere and acting as a natural solution to climate change. They provide new income to farmers through the sale of fruits and wood. Carbon sequestered in trees can be calculated, certified to existing standards, and used by the company to claim a net zero goal or a net zero product.
By creating natural carbon sinks – by planting trees – in a company's source coffee landscapes, the company offsets residual GHG emissions that cannot be reduced in any other way.
The company's commitment to buy these carbon gains helps incentivize and finance the transition to more sustainable and resilient practices.
In addition to the impact of carbon sequestration, insertion creates multiple co-benefits.
MULTIPLE POSITIVE IMPACTS
Companies reduce GHG emissions from their operations, increase carbon sequestration by restoring natural carbon sinks, improve soil health, restore local water cycles, and reverse the loss of forests and biodiversity. At the same time, they promote climate resilience, support the livelihoods of local producers and strengthen communities.
TRANSFORMING BUSINESS MODELS
Working closely with suppliers and implementing low-carbon and regenerative practices at the heart of a company's value chain enables land to be used sustainably, building a more resilient business model .
INTEGRATED APPROACH
All projects are developed within ecosystems connected to the organization's value chain, which allows integration of its vision, values, management system and programs.
ATTEINDRE LES OBJECTIFS
Les projets d'intégration offrent un large éventail d'impacts positifs qui aident les entreprises à atteindre leurs objectifs de développement durable et à respecter leurs engagements envers le climat, la nature et les communautés.
ADAPTATION AU CLIMAT
En plus de réduire les émissions, l'intégration peut également renforcer la résilience climatique au sein de la chaîne d'approvisionnement d'une entreprise et aider à restaurer les écosystèmes vitaux dont dépendent les fournisseurs. En créant des synergies entre l'atténuation du changement climatique et l'adaptation dans l'agriculture, l'intégration peut également générer des incitations et des financements pour l'adaptation au changement climatique, tout en améliorant les moyens de subsistance des agriculteurs.
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
Better management of agricultural land and natural resources leads to higher productivity and a more stable supply of raw materials, making companies' value chains more resilient in the long term.
ASSOCIATIONS
Companies' relationships with other agents in the value chain are changing beyond a simple financial transaction. Working in partnership with suppliers builds trust, brings greater transparency to supply chain activities, and helps identify opportunities to reduce emissions that create shared value for all.
SOLUTIONS BASED ON NATURE
Insetting allows companies to integrate their investment in nature into their sustainability strategies and goals. Improving agricultural practices, agroforestry, restoration and conservation enable companies to deal effectively with climatic and natural crises.
