The Rainforest Alliance and UTZ have recently merged in response to the critical challenges facing humanity: deforestation, climate change, systemic poverty, and social inequity. We are combining our respective strengths to build a future in which nature is protected and biodiversity flourishes, where farmers, workers, and communities prosper, and where sustainable land use and responsible business practices are the norm. We envision a world where people and nature thrive in harmony. Through the UTZ-program farmers grow better crops, generate more income and create better opportunities while safeguarding the environment and securing the earthÕs natural resources. Now and in the future. When you buy UTZ certified coffee, cocoa or tea you are helping build a better future.
