Daterra, Brazil’s First Rainforest Alliance Certified Coffee Farm

Biologists have found rare macaws, owls, jaguar tracks and a giant anteater in the protected areas of Daterra, a Rainforest Alliance Certified farm in southeastern Brazil known as much for its superior beans as its commitment to conservation.

The famous fazenda, in Minas Gerais — an enormous, flat, plateau in an area known as the cerrado — is owned by philanthropist and coffee expert Luis Norberto Pascoal, who in 1986 added coffee to the family agribusiness that was established in 1974.

While Daterra has always been guided by a strict environmental ethos, today Pascoal is widely regarded for his innovative research, sustainable farm management and application of agricultural technology.

Daterra is located in an area where the natural vegetation is grass, shrubs and low trees. Because the ecosystem does not lend itself to shade coffee, the beans here are grown in sun and planted in tight rows. Certification should promote conservation of the natural ecosystem, the cerrado.

Rainforest Alliance coffees are very trendy with coffee lovers at the moment, as they see Rainforest Alliance (RFA) coffee as being more eco-friendly that its Fairtrade counterpart.
