A farmer’s passion for knowledge is helping transform her business

Tran Thi Lien shares her passion for productive farming

Planting the seeds for continuous growth

Tran Thi Lien aims to keep improving. A second-generation coffee farmer, she learnt the basics from her parents, before adopting regenerative farming practices comprising of planting trees and practices that support soil health (such as composting, crop rotation and soil testing).

All these practices aim to harvest great quality Robusta beans that are essential to our coffee’s rich flavours. Empowered by knowledge that has helped reduce farming costs, Lien has made her farm efficient and in so doing is creating a brighter future for her family.

Positive outcomes

The result is an enhanced harvest of the ripe Robusta beans that are essential to our coffee’s rich flavours. It’s good for her future, and good for her. “These positive outcomes make my spirit more relaxed,” she smiles.

When it comes to growing coffee, it’s about the soil. NESCAFÉ^® helps several thousand farmers improve the health of the soil with regenerative agriculture practices.

In line with the Sustainable Agriculture Initiative Platform, NESCAFÉ^® defines “regenerative agriculture” as an approach to farming which aims, through practice adoption, to conserve and restore natural resources, primarily soil, as well as water and biodiversity, while capturing carbon in soils and plant biomass, and to support farmers’ livelihoods. Key practices promoted under the NESCAFÉ^® Plan include efficient water use and optimised use of inputs.
