Strengthening coffee supply chains: advancing climate resilience through regenerative agriculture

Climate change is rapidly reshaping the future of coffee. Rising temperatures, shifting growing regions and increased pressure on yields are creating significant risks for producers, livelihoods, and supply chain stability. As a result, incorporating regenerative agriculture practices into coffee supply chains is no longer a distant sustainability goal, but a core business imperative. From farm-level adaptation and investment to sourcing strategies and supplier partnerships, companies are rethinking how to secure supply while supporting livelihoods and long-term sustainability goals.

In this complimentary webinar, we’ll explore:

  • What regenerative agriculture means in practice for the coffee sector, from farm to commercial strategy
  • How producers and supply chain partners are responding, including the support structures, partnerships and investment models driving impact
  • How brands and retailers are integrating regenerative agriculture into sourcing decisions
  • The role of traceability and certification in driving accountability across the supply chain

You’ll be hearing from:

  • Stephan Jermendy, international sustainability manager, cocoa and coffee supply chains, ALDI SÜD Holding
  • Paula Curiacos Urtado, animal scientist and co-founder and manager, Fazenda Tres Meninas Sustainable Specialty Coffee Farm
  • Franco Costantini, chief executive officer, Regenagri
  • David Brussa, chief sustainability and quality officer, illycaffè
