The Impact of Agroforestry
In Colombia, we are shedding light on the impact regenerative agriculture practices play on biodiversity conservation and habitat restoration.
Increasing Biodiversity
Since 2014, PUR has planted over 3.7 million trees within coffee agroforestry parcels. Colombian summers can experience dry, harsh conditions due to climate change; conserving soil and finding and maintaining water resources are essential. When shade trees are planted, multiple benefits are created — trees begin to bear fruits, creating diversified income for farmer’s livelihoods, and birds and insects return, essential for pollinating coffee flowers.
Interventions

PUR has implemented nature-based solutions across 400,000 hectares in over 30 countries. In partnership with clients and farmers, we are making the future more sustainable by helping to regenerate vital ecosystems and empower local communities.
