A new strategic program designed to put smallholder producers at the driving seat of their sustainability journey

Rainforest Alliance

2021-2023

Voluntary sustainability programs have very high standards, are perceived as expensive, and sometimes impossible to reach for smallholder farmers. Because of this, Rainforest Alliance wanted to increase its impact as an organization by engaging with a broader base of producers.

Together with the Innovation Team we developed a new strategic and inclusive program, designed around farmer’s need and with the goal to enable smallholder farmers to take ownership of their sustainability journey, improve their production and climate change resilience.

Based on 40+ qualitative interviews in the main region Rainforest operates, the core team met in Colombia to run a Design Sprint with smallholder coffee producers and kick off the development of the program.

After having prioritised the key assumptions, the team has worked to develop prototypes and test the business idea with both producers and market players.

How we can work together?

Share your challenge

During a 30 minute discovery (video) call we will discuss the project, business requirements, customer/beneficiaries needs and next steps.

I will design the right strategy to approach it

I will create a proposal that will include:
• The project approach;
• Timeline;
• Key Commitments (workshops with key stakeholders, users, others);
• Way of working;
• Deliverables.

Agreement and kick-off

Once the proposal is accepted we can start the project straight away.

“I worked together with Piera on the most challenging and rewarding project of my career.
It was so to a large extent thanks to her. The enthusiasm she displayed to propose a number of different approaches and ideas I had never explored, as well as her energy to carry them out were a constant and positive surprise.”
