"The Partnership is designed to move beyond fragmented, company-led deforestation initiatives by fostering collaboration at a landscape scale - supporting efforts to map and safeguard coffee-growing regions, not just individual supply chains."
"The initiative uses Airbus's Pléiades and Pléiades Neo satellite imagery at up to 30-centimeter resolution, combined with AI analysis and on-the-ground verification, to produce two core datasets."
The Coffee Canopy Partnership involves seven major coffee companies collaborating with Airbus to create a global map of coffee production. This initiative responds to the European deforestation-free supply chain law, effective December 30, 2026, which requires proof that coffee is not sourced from deforested land post-2020. The project aims to identify deforestation risks and protect shade-grown coffee farms. The first phase focuses on East Africa, utilizing advanced satellite imagery and AI for accurate mapping and verification of coffee-growing regions.
