The c&c toolbox is an interactive web app on climate-smart coffee cultivation for smallholder coffee farmers and agronomists worldwide. It is free of charge, user-friendly and intuitive, and comes in different languages.

Coffee farmers around the globe are facing unprecedented challenges. Climate change, more pests and lower yields threaten coffee production worldwide. In response to these challenges, the initiative for coffee&climate (c&c) has developed the c&c toolbox, an interactive web app on climate-smart coffee cultivation.

The c&c toolbox equips coffee farmers with valuable information to make coffee production more climate resilient. It aims at climate-smart coffee cultivation, fostering resilience against climate impacts while nurturing biodiversity, promoting reforestation, and ensuring farmers’ livelihoods.

Accessible via smartphone, tablet, and laptop, even in low-bandwidth areas, the c&c toolbox offers climate-smart coffee practices, so-called “tools”, in the form of easy-to-use step-by-step instructions. Farmers find practical instructions for the climate change impacts on their farm.
Extensionists get valuable insights in a dedicated trainer section to holistically support farmers in achieving climate-smart coffee production.

The c&c toolbox consolidates adaptation and mitigation practices. It places great emphasis on inclusivity ensuring global accessibility regardless of age, gender, or education level.

The c&c toolbox is implemented for the initiative for coffee&climate (c&c) by Hanns R. Neumann Stiftung (HRNS) . It is financed by the c&c members: Delta Cafés, Franck, Joh. Johannson, Lavazza

Foundation, Löfbergs, Neumann Kaffee Gruppe, Paulig, Tchibo, Julius Meinl, The J.M. Smucker Company, Tim Hortons, Walter Matter and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency as public partner.

The initiative for coffee&climate (c&c) is a pre-competitive partnership of private and public actors. Working in seven regions worldwide, c&c strives to support smallholder coffee farming families and their communities to effectively respond to climate change, increase their resilience, and improve their livelihoods. More than 133,000 coffee farming households have been trained on climate-smart techniques to date.
c&c was founded in 2010 by the shareholders of International Coffee Partners (ICP) together with Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and is coordinated and implemented by Hanns R. Neumann Stiftung (HRNS). Today it consists of the founding members Delta Cafés, Franck, Joh. Johannson, Lavazza Foundation, Löfbergs, Neumann Kaffee Gruppe, Paulig, and Tchibo, the associate members Julius Meinl, Smuckers, Tim Hortons, and Walter Matter as well as the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency as public partner.
