Through research and development the Mesoamerican Development Institute (MDI) is on the path to make some big changes in the coffee industry.

MDI is also preparing to scale up our model of coffee cultivation that restores and conserves forest habitat on private lands (coffee farms). The method called Integrated Open Canopy (IOC) is coupled with carbon-neutral processing to provide carbon offsets as incentive for adoption.
