Long Term Impact

CRS's Blue Harvest Program has brought together more than 80 organizations to safeguard watersheds and communities linked to coffee production. Utilizing water-saving technologies, improving on-farm facilities, and implementing wastewater treatment on 33 farms, they annually save 33 million liters of water. The program has positively impacted 66,662 hectares, benefiting 200,000 people with enhanced access to natural resources and water.

The vision of Blue Harvest is to extend its influence to various communities, watersheds, and regions globally. As it grows, the program aims to secure partners committed to preserving critical water supply areas such as watersheds and rivers. The ultimate goal is to foster connections between the market, local communities, and the vital water sources, ensuring quality water for people at the source and exceptional coffee for consumers worldwide.

Introducing Blue Harvest Regenerative, the initiative aims to expand the adoption of WSA Blue Harvest practices among coffee farmers in vital watersheds across Honduras and Nicaragua. Embracing these practices enhances productivity and resilience against climate challenges. Proven tools and methodologies support comprehensive efforts for the sustainable integration of regenerative practices on a large scale.
