We are a dedicated group of students from Erasmus University Rotterdam, representing the AEclipse Master Association through the yearly edition of the International Research Project (IRP).

This year our study focuses on the feasibility and impact of Participatory Guarantee Systems (PGS) as an innovative and sustainable alternative to traditional certification methods for coffee producers. We altruistically collaborate with a local organization in Colombia, ensuring that our research not only advances academic insights but also genuinely benefits the community.

All funds will be dedicated to financing our field trip, where we will engage directly with local farmers and stakeholders to uncover practical, on-the-ground solutions. Your support is crucial in maximizing the impact of this year’s International Research Project, enabling us to gain firsthand insights and pave the way toward more inclusive and resilient food supply chains.
