Fazenda Vila Boa, a 1320-hectare farm located in Minas Gerais, is one of the first local farms that have successfully achieved carbon neutrality.

The farm‘s initiative to become carbon neutral was based on a study of the impact of coffee farming on climate change, and the farm reached this goal by implementing initiatives such as plant spacing, coffee planting, and planting native forests. This not only made the farm carbon neutral, but it also increased its output.

Brazil is the leading coffee producer in the world, accounting for about one-third of the global coffee production for the past 150 years. Both Arabica and Robusta varieties are grown in the country, but Arabica is the dominant variety, with a growing share of around 80%. The dry process, also known as the unwashed or natural process, is the most commonly used method in Brazil, making for about 90% of the Arabica produced
