ABOUT US
Ethos Agriculture is a team of coffee sector and supply chain experts specialized in design, partnership building and research. We focus on creating a safe place for disruptive thinking in the coffee sector. In order to achieve this, we facilitate collaboration between initiatives and organizations across the sector - from coffee communities to consumers, resulting in creating opportunities for joint learning and collective impact.
What we do
Collaboration, Innovation and Sustainability are a mutually reinforcing triad. To fully unlock these forces requires new forms of engagement and alignment between stakeholders that are typically operating in silos.
Following a structured methodology, we assess your organization to identify your sustainability priorities. This leads to the design of a cohesive strategy, which identifies appropriate tools and targets partnership opportunities to address your priorities. Whether this requires value chain connections or attracting funders to leverage investments, we can help you along the way.
