This former conventional coffee farm was completely reliant on ever-increasing applications of synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, and an aggressive rotation of fungicides just to break even in a good year.  After a comprehensive and holistic transition, it has become one of the best examples of regenerative agriculture in the context of coffee—not to mention its breathtaking beauty. Here are a few highlights: –Synthetic NPK was phased out completely, with no drop in yield and a dramatic increase in quality. –Fungicides have been replaced with biological controls and nutrition to manage coffee leaf rust, which now has an incidence rate below 1% across the farm. Previously, it was as high as 40% annually while using more than five types of chemical fungicides. –The soil is now covered with a diverse perennial cover that enriches the soil microbiome, retains more water, increases nutrient cycling, and eliminates the need for herbicides. –The farm now produces prized hardwoods, unique spices, cacao, and a variety of fruits, along with its award-winning coffee. This has garnered support from long-term buyers and roasters who recognize the farm's immense value to the coffee world.

En la Cumbre de Líderes del G20, planteamos establecer un fondo para financiar el programa de reforestación más grande de la historia: Sembrando Vida, que mitiga el calentamiento global y reduce la pobreza. La propuesta es dejar de sembrar guerras; sembremos paz y sembremos vida.

Van 1 o 2 meses que mágicamente se me gastan demasiado rápido mis Gb del plan Telcel que tengo contratado, aunque incluso a veces por días estoy todo el tiempo conectada al wifi. Ellos aprovechan para venderme Gb extras. ¡Antes siempre me sobraba! ¿A alguien más le está pasando?
