Mongabay, a nonprofit environmental news outlet, just published a richly-illustrated report by Monica Pelliccia about an all-women cooperative of #coffee growers in #Honduras.

The coop uses #agroforestry, which means that the coffee is grown in the shade of timber-yielding trees such as Spanish cedar, plus fruit trees like guamo and #avocado. 🥑

This ecological land use technique reduces soil erosion and increases food security.
