Kiko Ribeiro / Brazil

Kiko is a proud member of the Cocarive Cooperative, a leader in the movement empowering farmers to grow high-quality, sustainably grown, single-origin coffees in Brazil.

His goal is to provide carbon offset in the southern part of the province of Minas Gerais, pushing back against the wave of tropical deforestation. By producing high-quality microlots that grow some of the best coffee in the world, he also protects the 40 hectares of Mata Atlantica on his land from deforestation.

Today, he is working on converting his farm to 100% solar power to further decrease his carbon footprint.
