Our Mission

---

 At Café Canna, we're dedicated to crafting premium CBD-infused coffee using top-quality ingredients, ensuring an unparalleled experience for our customers. Committed to our local community, we give back with every sip by supporting initiatives that uplift and empower, fostering positive change through each carefully brewed cup..

That's why we pledge $1 from each bag sold to go directly to sustainable agriculture initiatives. 

Practices like these, especially in Costa Rica, and particularly within the context of coffee farming, are crucial for preserving the environment while maintaining the livelihoods of local communities. Here's an elaboration on these initiatives:

• Agroforestry Practices: Costa Rican organizations like CATIE promote agroforestry techniques in coffee farming. This involves integrating trees into the coffee plantation, which benefits both the environment and the coffee crop. Trees provide shade for the coffee plants, prevent soil erosion, enhance soil fertility, and create habitats for wildlife. This approach fosters biodiversity while ensuring the long-term sustainability of coffee cultivation.
• Soil Conservation: Programs focus on preventing soil degradation and erosion through techniques such as contour planting, terracing, and implementing cover crops. Healthy soil is vital for coffee plants to thrive, and preserving soil health contributes to the long-term viability of coffee farming.
• Organic Farming and Reduced Chemical Use: Encouraging farmers to adopt organic farming practices reduces the reliance on chemical pesticides and fertilizers. This not only benefits the environment by minimizing chemical runoff into water sources but also produces healthier coffee beans. Certification programs for organic coffee production exist in Costa Rica, ensuring adherence to strict environmental standards.
• Research and Education: Institutions like CATIE conduct research on sustainable agricultural practices tailored to the local climate and conditions. They offer educational programs and workshops for farmers to learn about efficient and eco-friendly farming techniques, empowering them to make informed decisions that benefit both their crops and the environment.
• Community Involvement: Many initiatives engage local communities in sustainable farming practices. This involvement fosters a sense of ownership and encourages the adoption of environmentally friendly methods by demonstrating the benefits to farmers and their families.

By supporting initiatives focused on sustainable agriculture in Costa Rica's coffee-growing regions, we can contribute to preserving the natural environment, conserving biodiversity, and ensuring the longevity of high-quality coffee production. It also supports the well-being and resilience of local farming communities, creating a more sustainable future for both the environment and the coffee industry.
