The Mesoamerican Development Institute (MDI) is a non-governmental organization based in Honduras and Lowell, MA. Specializing in technology transfer and market development, MDI introduces innovative renewable energy solutions to the agro-productive industry in rural Mesoamerica, aiming to reduce costs and restore environments. Their groundbreaking solar biofuel industrial scale drying technology eliminates the need to burn wood during the coffee drying process, while their Integrated Open Canopy (IOC) method promotes forest-friendly coffee production and processing, coupled with carbon-neutral processing to provide carbon offsets as incentives for adoption.
With a focus on increasing sustainability in the coffee industry, supporting Honduras coffee farmers, and developing forest-friendly farming systems, MDI's Caf Solar coffee program is built on the foundation of harmonious coffee production and processing with threatened national parks in Honduras. Through their research and development efforts, MDI is on a mission to bring transformative changes to the coffee industry, offering solar-processed coffee that not only benefits the environment but also delivers high agricultural yields.
