Today, at least 17 countries are considered the richest in biodiversity globally, and we live in one of them: Mexico. Our country is known for its beaches on the Pacific and the Gulf of Mexico , as well as its diverse landscape of mountains, deserts and jungles; This makes it a biodiverse country. The term “biodiversity” was born in 1985 at the National Forum on Biological Diversity in the United States and covers the variety of species of plants, animals, fungi and microorganisms that live in a given space, their genetic variability, and ecosystems. of which these species are part and the landscapes or regions where the ecosystems are located. Protecting the ecosystems that enrich our country is essential, but... how can we do it? We tell you a very effective way. Environmental certifications An environmental certification is an accreditation obtained for certain products, services, processes or management systems, which certifies that all or certain corresponding processes have been carried out in a way that is respectful of the environment and, where applicable, in accordance with regulations. respective environment. Achieving a certification of this type guarantees that the company complies with international and national standards (or environmental standards in countries that have them), that it has carried out a comprehensive evaluation of processes and their impact on the environment. In Mexico, some companies with a high commitment to sustainability achieve certifications that help preserve these areas that are so important for the environment; even having one type of certification can generate a greater reputation.
An example of this is CAFFENIO , a 100% Mexican company with almost 80 years of experience, which day after day assumes its social responsibility and carries out actions beyond a cup of coffee. CAFFENIO and its commitment to biodiversity A year ago, CAFFENIO signed an agreement with Pronatura Veracruz, AC ., a non-profit civil organization whose mission is to conserve flora, fauna and priority ecosystems, supporting the development of society in harmony with nature. CAFFENIO announced its commitment to the environment , through the search for Europe Cell Phone Number List the Biodiversity Seal, a distinction that Pronatura grants to products coming from Private Conservation Areas (APC) or Areas Voluntarily Destined for Conservation (ADVC) in Veracruz, Mexico; with the purpose of stimulating the conservation of ecosystems and their biodiversity. This certification seal seeks for coffee growers to acquire good agricultural practices to protect the coffee ecosystem, so that the ecosystem services provided by this type of agroecosystem are preserved, such as pollination, which occurs thanks to the work of bees, which while supporting the flowering of coffee trees that also produce honey. This support is part of the initiatives of the COSECHA program , which CAFFENIO operates with producers from the Altas Montañas region, in Veracruz.
In this first stage, 65 coffee growers will receive support for training and implementation of actions resulting from the diagnosis of the biodiversity conditions that the farms host. “ At the end of 2019, we signed an agreement with 65 producers to provide them with support during the process of obtaining the distinction.” CAFFENIO This area has great importance in terms of coffee production. In 2000 it ranked second in this productive activity with more than 90% of coffee produced in shade farms, particularly in the central region of Coatepec-Huatusco , which contributed to state production by contributing more than 40%, so It is considered the second most important coffee area nationwide. How is this certification achieved? Products certified with the Biodiversity Seal are those coming from a Private Conservation Area (APC) or an Area Voluntarily Destined for Conservation (ADVC) with agroecosystems. This is an ecosystem modified for cultivation that still maintains part of its composition and tree structure, which is why it continues to provide environmental services such as CO2 capture, water, soil, and hosts wild animals and plants.
