EQUAL ORIGINS

In the midst of the current crisis, Equal Origins is working to ensure that gender equity remains core to sustainability and responsible sourcing programs as the coffee and cacao sectors evolve... In particular, Equal Origins is working with producer organizations in coffee and cacao to evaluate their performance related to gender equity, develop solutions to address the gaps identified, and integrate those solutions into their plans for recovery, reactivation, and resilience-building for the post-COVID future... Equal Origins is creating common tools and methodologies to support the coffee and cocoa industry's engagement and investment in gender equity across the value chain. These tools will serve to improve the livelihoods of producers and enhance the sustainable supply of quality coffee and cocoa.
