Pouring progress, one cup at a time! Through the SABORES project, #Honduran farmers are brewing fairer incomes and climate-smart businesses.

#Coffee beans fuel jobs in #Canada too, from shipping docks to buzzing cafés.

This #InternationalCoffeeDay, let’s raise a mug to #GlobalTrade.

Three individuals stand around a table with coffee-making equipment. One wears an apron and gestures toward the table while holding a phone. Another holds a kettle near a coffee dripper atop a glass carafe, as the third person observes. The table holds a bag of coffee beans, a white bowl, and other brewing tools, illustrating a hands-on coffee preparation session.

Two individuals harvest coffee cherries from coffee plants surrounded by lush green foliage. One person holds a basket to collect the cherries.

A person wearing protective gear, including a helmet and ear protection, operates a motorized tiller on a coffee farm. The ground is covered with coffee cherries, and the background shows lush green trees.
