NAMA Café » Mill: Zalmari S.A.

Several efforts are being made to measure the carbon footprint in the farm and mill. A person in the office is in charge and participates in all training workshops given by NAMA Café and ICAFE to train and know what data needs to be collected to fill out Excel spreadsheets and implement formulas, etc. The visits and guides of the experts on the different topics with this person helps complete the data collection and obtain the measurement of the carbon footprint. Once the footprint is known, steps are taken to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. In our case this year we are going to plant star grass on which the water from the mill will be sprinkled. In addition, we will not add as much lime to the coffee waste (biomass), but instead feed it to the California earthworms to produce fertilizer and natural earth.
