Native Tree Agroforestry — Climate Resilience Project
Strengthening farm ecosystems to ensure long-term supply continuity.
To secure the future of specialty coffee in Colombia, farm systems must evolve beyond monoculture. This project focuses on reintroducing native tree species within coffee landscapes to restore soil health, stabilize micro-climates, and safeguard local water sources.
Origin Bridge works alongside producers to transition toward agroforestry models that reduce climate risk, improve agronomic performance, and protect long-term supply continuity.
Strategic Impact
Climate Resilience
Native shade trees buffer temperature extremes and protect cherries from UV radiation, resulting in more uniform ripening and reduced yield volatility.
Soil Restoration
Diverse root systems prevent erosion and naturally replenish organic matter, improving agronomic performance and reducing fertilizer dependency.
Ecosystem Services
Restoring native biodiversity creates natural pest control and supports essential pollinators, securing the biological foundation of the farm.
