This project is actively working for SDGs 2 (zero hunger) and SDGs 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), newly organized together with GIED (Global Initiative for Exchange & Development). GIED is a workcamp NGO founded in 2011 working on youth development and environmental protection in Ceby island. Tuburan is known as the coffee capital of Cebu, boasts Tuburan Coffee Farm, the first coffee plantations in the municipality established in 2012. At that time, the then-mayor procured 30,000 coffee saplings from Tagum City, Davao del Norte, and provided training to local farmers on coffee cultivation. This initiative aimed to promote coffee farming as a more sustainable and lucrative livelihood for upland communities, offering an alternative to activities like charcoal production and firewood gathering, which have contributed significantly to deforestation. Over the years, various government agencies have supported the development of coffee farming in Tuburan, culminating in its recognition as the coffee capital of Cebu. Presently, Tuburan Coffee sources beans from over 3,000 hectares of coffee small holdings spread across 29 barangays (villages), benefiting more than 2,000 farmers in the process.
