ABOUT US AND OUR PROJECT

Since 2015 we have produced and exported our own agave spirits and in the case
of coffee through our sustainable farm “Olmo” in Teocelo (visit
www.olmocoffeefarm.com for more info ) – two of Mexico’s finest products!

However, both products face environmental challenges, and therefore as a natural
step, we have since 2019 worked together with our local partner, Mr. Marcos
Aguilar and team, in reforestation programs through our own nursery located in
Tejeria, Veracruz. So far, we plant in the states of Veracruz, Hidalgo and
Jalisco.

Our programs aim for a positive impact not only for the environment but also for
the community around them. By supporting local farmers (single mothers and
low-income families) we maximize our social impact, helping them to diversify
crops while we tackle the urgent problem of deforestation.

We currently plant various types of fruit trees (avocado, lime, oranges etc.)
and the agave planting (by regulation) is in the state of Jalisco, Mexico –
world famous for its tequila.

As of 2023, we are also a registered and approved broker with Climate Action
Reserve (CAR) for Mexican Forest Projects. This offers clients and partners an
alternative route to compensate for CO2 emissions using one of the few major
internationally recognized certifications standards.  





FACTS ABOUT DEFORESTATION IN MEXICO

www.inecol.mx/inecol/index.php/es/ concludes that Veracruz is the Mexican state
with the highest risk of deforestation. Predicts that over a 7-year period, 4%
of forest land will be lost.

https://www.gob.mx/profepa deems that 108 areas in Mexico have a worrying rate
of deforestation. The state of Veracruz has the highest number (9).

According to https://www.globalforestwatch.org/ Mexico lost 274,000-hectare
forest land in 2016, and the numbers are increasing.

According to www.fao.org/home/es/, Mexico lost 3.2 million hectare of forest
land between 2001-2017 equating a 6% loss.  34% of the fauna in Mexican forest
is endemic and 12% will be lost in a few years if the deforestation continues at
the current rate.

www.nasa.gov in a 2013 study – using Satellites – puts Mexico in top 3 among
countries with deforestation (with indicators: Malaysia: 115, Nepal: 114 y
Mexico: 92). Similar results are obtained in a recent study in a cooperation
between Google & Matthew Hansen, University of Maryland.

https://www.greenpeace.org/mexico/ rates Mexico as the 5th ranked country with
respect to deforestation.

A 2014 paper presented at the International Coffee Science Association
(https://www.asic-cafe.org/) conference predicts that plunging coffee prices may
be pressuring farmers to carve out land in rainforests for survival, and may
drive deforestation by more than 100,000 hectares yearly – worldwide.

Scientists at the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew (https://www.kew.org) recently
published a study in “Science Advances Journal” predicting that 60% of wild
coffee species (there are approximately 124 In the world) are expected to become
extinct due to deforestation, human settlement and climate change.




NURSERY AND TREE PLANTING

Initial time in nursery: 6-12 months depending on crop and weather.

Some fruit trees are: Lime persa, Allspice, Guanabana and Avocado (Hass) – all
endemic to the area.  

All fruit trees are planted in terrain with local farmers as contract farming.
With our local cooperative headed by Marcos Aguilar, we work closely with 500+
local farms.

We plant approximately 400 trees per hectare: This is a correct amount that
allows enough light and space to each tree – such that the fruit trees are
productive. Photosynthesis is key.

After 2 years in terrain, the fruit trees give full crops and the cooperative
will help the local farmers and families make an extra income by selling the
fruits.

Each fruit tree absorbs 28kg C02 annually.
