Green Coffee – Why Zuricaf?

Goals

Implementation & Measurement

Golden Diversity – Species & Variety Wealth

A diverse mosaic of flora and fauna is essential for healthy agro‑ecosystems. Different species deliver key ecosystem services – from pollination to pest control. Studies like Hooper & Vitousek (1997) show: the higher the diversity, the more climate‑resilient a system becomes.

Diversity also pays socially: parallel cultivation of different crops allows smallholders to harvest year‑round, stabilise income and differentiate from the bulk market.

Trade for Aid – our values

What’s behind the name “Zuricaf”?zuri (Swahili for “beautiful”) + CAF (Coffee). In short: beautiful Ugandan coffee.

Canephora & Liberica Initiatives in Uganda

We love diversity and believe in its integral power to strengthen ecosystems and communities. Together with Canephora as well as Liberica and Excelsa farmers – and Slow Food Uganda – we explore the potential of climate‑resilient coffee specialties.

Project Goals

Status quo: exchange & pilot phase – first micro‑lots expected in 2026; international trade not yet started.
