Innovation for the next generation: The farmers of the co-op Sol y Café in Peru are shining examples of how long-term success can be linked to systemic innovation. This co-op balances being grounded in core values—democracy, transparency, environmental stewardship—while also seeking constant improvement with active curiosity and follow-through. Sol y Café has successfully leveraged their relationship with us and with other coffee co-op peers. They have participated in farmer exchanges that seek to share best practices. Inspired by one such visit to a coffee co-op in Honduras where they witnessed a progressive primary school, Sol y Café embraced the idea, adapted it to their context, scaled it, and now manages a co-op run school in Peru that benefits the children of the farmers, all the while instilling curiosity and innovation in the generation who will become their future co-op farmer members. Their scope of innovation seems to know no bounds, and has led to innovations in areas that include farming—higher yields and quality—in leadership development, and in capitalizing the co-op organization itself to provide greater financial independence and staying power
