🌱 Discover the Journey of Our Regenerative Organic Certified® Banana Products!
Our Regenerative Organic Certified® bananas are grown in the nutrient-dense soil of Northern Nicaragua. Our farmers use 100% regenerative organic farming techniques, drawing down atmospheric carbon into the soil to cool the earth. Additionally, legumes are planted around the plants to protect them and infuse nitrogen into the soil during their life cycle. As part of an agroforestry system, coffee and many other species of fruit trees and native hardwoods are planted to increase biodiversity and diversify our growers’ incomes.
🌱 Regenerative Practice of the Month: Coffee-Banana Intercropping 🌱
Benefits:
🌿 Boost Revenue: Intercropping bananas with coffee increases revenue by over 50% compared to monocropping. ☀️ Climate Resilience: Bananas provide shade, keeping coffee plants cool and reducing heat stress. 🌾 Soil Health: This combination enhances soil structure and fertility, improving nutrient content and water retention. 🌍 Carbon Sequestration: Intercropping sequesters up to four times more carbon than monocultures, reducing greenhouse gases.
Coffee-banana intercropping promotes sustainable agriculture, boosts productivity, and enhances climate resilience. Let's adopt this practice for a greener future! 🌿
