Green Mountain Coffee has joined with four other coffee industry leaders to form the Coffeelands Food Security Coalition. Along with Starbucks, Counter Culture Coffee, Farmer Brothers, and Sustainable Harvest Coffee Importers, Green Mountain will help coffee farmers in Nicaragua fight seasonal hunger during the rainy season that leaves families without income for five to seven months. The three-year Empowering Food Secure Communities program will work with 150 women and their families to improve their farming and business skills, and to develop additional sources of income.
