Terra Noun is a brilliant community initiative based in the Noun region of Cameroon. Their mission? To help local family farms shift towards more sustainable and diverse growing practices—especially through agroforestry and coffee polyculture.
Instead of the traditional monoculture coffee systems that damage soil and ecosystems, Terra Noun promotes a smarter way: growing coffee alongside fruits and vegetables, using organic principles and less land. It’s better for the planet and better for people.
“I started Terra Noun in 2013 to offer an alternative to destructive farming models. Our approach means we grow more in less space, without relying on harmful inputs. We’ve produced over 37 tonnes of fruit and much better coffee—sold for nearly double the price compared to 10 years ago. In 2021, I also launched Yamo Café in France to help spread the idea of coffee gardens—where coffee trees grow under fruit trees, surrounded by vegetables. It’s a beautiful and sustainable way to farm.”
Right here in our hometown, Flo’s is a warm, welcoming community hub based in Florence Park. It’s all about bringing people together, celebrating difference, and tackling the big issues—like inequality, social isolation, and the climate crisis.
They work with local health and food organisations to tackle root causes of poverty and put people with lived experience at the centre of change.
They’re also serious about sustainability—reducing waste, protecting biodiversity, and playing their part in the fight against climate change.
As one local put it: “I always feel at home at Flo’s. It’s an extraordinarily inclusive space.”
