Empowering female coffee farmers in East Africa ☕ Today we want to highlight Coffee by Women, our sustainability initiative which has been creating better livelihoods for coffee farmers in East Africa through empowerment and trainings since 2011. One of the goals is to promote gender equality by attracting more women to the coffee industry. We aim for at least 30 percent of the coffee farmers trained in our own sustainability projects to be women. By focusing on female participation and entrepreneurship, we can capitalize on the successful concept of cooperative work among women coffee growers. This promotes both sustainable coffee cultivation and the exchange of knowledge between farmers and cooperatives. Let’s inspire inclusion 🤝  #IWD2024 #InspireInclusion  

🛒 With the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive in mind, which Belgian supermarket is doing the most for the farmers and workers in its supply chains? How do they protect their human rights and labour rights, and ensure a fair income and gender equality? 🔎 Superlist Social is a study that compares the policies of 5 retailers present in Belgium and calls on them to take action. It is an initiative of Questionmark Foundation in collaboration with Rikolto, with the support of Oxfam-Solidariteit and Fairtrade Belgium. 📊 The conclusion? One retailer is leading the way, but none of them is doing enough to protect human rights in their supply chains. Yet, they can (and soon must) do much more to make our food systems fairer.

This month's STAFF PICK is the limited edition Standout Chocolate Indonesia, Kerta Semaya Samaniya 2021. 🫶 The history of Jembrana’s cacao cooperative, Kerta Semaya Samaniya (“KSS”) is characterised by perseverance, patience and creativity. One of the key pillars of KSS’s strategy is gender equality. Historically, women were often limited to ‘helpers’ despite doing most of the work on the farm. The introduction of female-led trainings on good agricultural practices and post-harvesting processing has helped increase their self confidence as well the ability to train other female farmers across the farmer groups. Further, women can now join the cooperative, which allows them to sell their cacao directly to KSS and therefore gain full transparency of the income generated. Only 1500 of these very special chocolate bars were made. Find out more and place your wholesale orders here... https://buff.ly/4aFibTe

💚 Gender equality plays an important role in shaping a sustainable forestry industry. Recognising the different roles, needs, and experiences of women and men in forest management and protection is a first and important step towards a sustainable and socially just future. Gender equality is also a crucial factor in the long-term viability and success of the forestry sector. 🤝 GIZ is currently working closely with relevant partners to advance gender equality in the two areas of sustainable forest management and legal timber/the Voluntary Partnership Agreement on Forest Law Enforcement Governance and Trade (FLEGT VPA).

Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) number 5 is gender equality, ensuring empowerment for all women and girls while eradicating all forms of violence, particularly trafficking and sexual exploitation, as well as harmful practices like early and forced marriages and female genital mutilation. SDG 5 also aims to recognize and value unpaid care and domestic work by providing public services, infrastructure, and social protection policies and promoting shared responsibility within households and families, as per national contexts. Additionally, it ensures the full and effective participation of women and equal opportunities for leadership at all levels of political, economic, and public decision-making, among other actions designed to promote women's empowerment. Brazil Potash, through its affiliate Potássio do Brasil, adhering to ESG principles and as a corporate citizen, recognizes SDG 5 as a fundamental process already implemented in the company's employment sector and included in social projects to be developed in the region where the Autazes Potash Project will be executed, in the Amazon. #PotássioDoBrasil #BrazilPotash #PotashFertilizers #ESG #Potássio #PotassiumChloride #Amazonas #Autazes #AutazesPotashProject #SDGSeries #GenderEquality #WomenEmpowerment #ValueWomen
