DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Conveying Lavazza’s expertise and leadership in the coffee sector to businesses, as well a further commitment to sustainability are the starting point from which the Turin-based company is developing its presence at Gulfood 2018 (18-22 February), the world’s largest food event for businesses.

¡TIERRA!

Lavazza’s answer to sustainable development

¡Tierra! is a sustainability project launched in 2002 and developed on a joint basis with the Rainforest Alliance NGO, with the aim of improving the social and environmental conditions and the production techniques of several coffee-growing communities.

The ¡Tierra! programme, which embraces projects devised and managed with more direct input from the nonprofit Giuseppe and Lavazza Foundation, is divided chronologically into two periods: in 2009 the first phase was completed, involving three communities in Peru, Honduras and Colombia; the second phase, launched in 2010, is addressed to India, Brasile and Tanzania.

Since 2013, the programme has also involved two communities in Ethiopia and Vietnam. In real terms, the projects have created facilities to process coffee and improve efficiency, built and renovated homes, schools and medical centres, launched microcredit projects and, most importantly, developed training programmes in the field for small producers, with the aim of implementing sustainable production techniques.

Over the years, the programme has also worked to improve healthcare, as well as providing assistance to bring drinking water to plantations and villages.

The ¡Tierra! project focuses on three key aspects: the quality of the end product, a concern for the living conditions of the people in coffee-producing countries and the protection of the environment.

Its goals are to improve the living conditions of farming communities and to develop high quality production processes, accompanied by the gradual reduction of environmental impact through the use of new farming techniques.

Today, ¡Tierra! is a comprehensive range of products for both the home and out-of-home markets, containing coffee grown by these communities.
