## Project Launch
Nestlé through Nescafé and Cerrado Coffee Growers Cooperative advance regenerative agriculture in Brazilian Savanna coffee farms.
## Soil Sampling Method
Mechanized georeferenced soil collection replaces manual sampling at 10 arabica coffee farms in Patrocínio, Minas Gerais.
## BioAS Soil Analysis
BioAS measures microbial enzyme activity to track soil health and guide fertilizer and pesticide use decisions.
## Carbon Emissions Reduction
The project tracks carbon sequestration by measuring soil organic matter changes through 2030.
## Farm Efficiency Gains
Mechanized sampling cuts work per farm from two days to one hour and standardizes soil collection volume.
## Project Expansion Plan
Nescafé plans to invest 1 billion Swiss francs (R$6.5 billion) in regenerative coffee farms across Brazil by 2030.
## Key takeaway

Nescafé and Cerrado Coffee Growers Cooperative use georeferenced soil sampling to improve coffee farm efficiency and reduce carbon emissions.
