Regenerative Tea Action Project
The goal of the Regenerative Tea Action Project (RTAP) is to help accelerate the adoption of and the commercial benefits from regenerative organic tea farming practices in the tea sector by working with smallholders, cooperatives and family run farms.
Our mission: To rethink, rebuild, and accelerate regenerative tea farming towards around the world.
Our objectives:
- Reduce barriers for farmers who need support and resources
- Build a network of smallholder farmers to bolster one another’s regenerative efforts
- Create a toolkit for regenerative tea practices that can be accessed by farmers globally
- Increase awareness of regenerative tea practices more broadly and motivate change
We're streamlining this project in a few key stages:
- Scope and baseline: Building advisory committees across four sectors: biodiversity, carbon, funding and certification
- Adopt and measure: Outlining roles for implementing partners, knowledge partners, and finance partners
- Testing the project in collaboration with farmers
Here are a few of the things the project has accomplished thus far:
- 4 deep dive upscaling areas
- 3 major consumer and wholesaler engagement events
- 30 participants spanning the entire tea value chain
Our target market includes:
- 480M small scale farms worldwide that need our support, producing
- 70%of the world’s food needs
