Prosperous Farmers and Forests Partnership

The project entails a community-corporate partnership model, led by Slow and WWF that aims to build sustainable, resilient, and inclusive forest economies in Vietnam. The objective of this project is to contribute to climate vulnerability reduction by the restoration of 18,000 hectares of natural forest, thus protecting a biodiversity corridor in the Quang Tri province, and by transforming 2,500 hectares of monoculture coffee plantations into a regenerative agroforestry model. This transformation is designed to not only improve the livelihoods of 2,000 smallholder households through significant income increases, but also to enhance environmental sustainability.

Through these efforts, the partnership creates a sustainable and resilient agricultural economy which is benefiting both the community and the ecosystem. In the long-term, the partnership aims to contribute to community development in Quang Tri and to establish a sustainable agroforestry model that utilizes technological solutions for full traceability and certifiability in the production of high-quality, fair, and forest-friendly coffee.
