  • Alvaro Contreras, in charge of environmental control at the coffee mill at Farallones, runs a water processing plant that processes all the waste that comes out of the coffee mill. The waste from coffee mills is toxic and highly acidic and in most mills it is poured into the local water system without treatment. The treatment plant, which was built with Fairtrade Premium, runs for ten hours a day and turns all the poisonous waste water into pH neutral, filtered, clear and sterilised water before returning it to the water system. The solids are turned into compacted fertilisers and soil improvers for the farmers in the coop.

  • In the new central coffee mill in Farallones, workers open sacks of coffee cherries arriving from farms in the afternoons. <br />
<br />
The new central processing mill for Andes coop was built in Farallones, Antioquia at 1280msm. The mill was recently inaugurated and was built with money from the Fairtrade Premium. The mill standardises processing and allows the coop to improve quality of final product by eliminating variations and defects in processing that happens when farmers process their own coffee. By doing this they can improve the income for the farmers. The mill can process 90,000 kg/day and also has a water treatment plant.

  • Maria del Cid Aguilar, mother of five, community leader and coffee farmer, on her coffee farm in Las Marias, Usulután, El Salvador.

Climate change adaptation is a serious challenge for organisations working in rural areas.

  • Hector Hermilo Perdomo, COCASJOL, Colinas, Santa Bárbara, Honduras. “With the two hurricanes that hit Honduras, the water that fell with them has affected us very much. We’ve had landslides, lots of land has been wiped out, taking with it our crops. Just in my bit of land I’ve lost two manzanas (5 acres) that means 7000 coffee plants that I’ve lost, that I can’t recover. Also the production of those 7000 plants, that’s about 35 quintals of dry pergamino coffee that I’ve lost. All this means I’m in difficulties financially, it’s a big loss. Also I’ve lost the musacea, the bananas we plant alongside the coffee as shade, and we have a substantial trade of bananas to Guatemala, mainly the small banana we call ‘mínimo’, we’ve lost that too. We’ve got big difficulties with access to and from our farms here, after the main roads and minor roads were affected by landslides, and that has made it hard to get any product out to market, or get machinery in to fix things on our farms. I’ve had 14 small landslides, and two big ones on my own property.”
