The regenagri podcast is a platform for leading industry experts to explore the future of farming and the hot topics surrounding the global movement of regenerative agriculture.
In this episode, Rose Riley speaks to David Brussa, director of total quality and sustainability at illycaffè, which has just become the first coffee brand to achieve regenagri certification.
David shares illycaffè’s heritage, which instills quality and sustainability hand-in-hand, and the company’s regenerative agriculture mission.
Working closely with Brazilian coffee growers and the Federation of Cerrado Mineiro producers for 30 years, illycaffè has brought its supply chain together to produce the newly regenagri certified Arabica Selection Brazil Cerrado Mineiro coffee.
David explains how a holistic approach, farming with nature and reducing inputs, has helped coffee growers of Cerrado Mineiro increase yields and reduce pests, as well as improve the health of the community while working the land.
He also adds that regenerative agriculture is a journey of learning and to improve you must continuously test and trial practices and measure results.
