The ¡BioRevolution! Project
An exciting partnership with food co-ops: 50¢ per pound of Organic ¡BioRevolution! coffee sold exclusively at food co-ops across the country funds innovative agriculture projects.
Industrial plantation agriculture is a major contributor to climate change; ¡BioRevolution! coffee is an alternative to the industrial petrochemical agriculture model and all of its negative impacts. Small-scale farmers grow a significant portion of the world's food and are the primary stewards of the Earth's ecosystems. Purchasing Organic ¡BioRevolution! coffee contributes to Equal Exchange's network of citizen-consumers and farmers who are building a sustainable future for our planet and people.
Coming July 2025, Organic ¡BioRevolution! will be relaunching with a brand new recipe! This Full City roast is balanced and sweet with notes of vanilla, milk chocolate, honey, and brown sugar. For every pound sold, Equal Exchange will contribute 50¢ to the ¡BioRevolution! Project fund. Our goal is to contribute up to $25,000 annually to support:
soil health initiatives
farmer-to-farmer learning exchanges
climate adaptation strategies
Since 2021, we’ve raised over $90,000 through the sale of these coffees to fund innovative farmer projects.
Featured Project: Honduras Farmer Exchange Programs
COMSA Co-op, Marcala, Honduras
The first project included scholarships to La Fortaleza, a farmer-led grassroots biodynamic teaching farm in Marcala, Honduras. Our partners from around the globe gained and shared knowledge around soil health and improving climate resiliency. The project supported farmers learning, innovating, and sharing practices to improve the profitability and resiliency of their farms. Since 2021, the ¡BioRevolution! Project funded two farmer exchanges at COMSA Co-op.
Why Soil Health is a Hot Topic
It’s hard to talk about the coffee farmer organization COMSA in Honduras without talking about soil. Equal Exchange Sales Director Lynsey Miller, featured in the video above, visited them in January and was eager to share some of her newfound soil enthusiasm.
“COMSA’s broad vision of success considers the needs of their coffee plants as well as the needs of their coffee farmers. The plants need healthy, rich soil. The farmers need inputs that are easy to access, effective, cheap, and won’t cause harm to themselves or the environment. Many contemporary (read: chemical) inputs are the opposite of what farmers need. Through their commitment to innovation and to creatively using the resources they have around them, COMSA convinced me that they are soil whisperers. Although they could—and do—teach a version of a master course in organic farming through creative soil management, I found even their fundamental insights compelling.”

Our supply chain is cooperative
For decades, Equal Exchange, a worker-owned co-op, has partnered with food coops across the country to strengthen our cooperative supply chain by connecting farmer co-ops to food co-ops. Why does this matter? Co-ops are uniquely structured to combine social and environmental justice with financial and democratic participation of farmer, worker, and consumer members. This coffee is a true manifestation of Cooperative Principle 6 and the global cooperative economy.
