The community of Gumantar in Lombok, Indonesia, one of the poorest regions of the island, is home to a large number of coffee farmers. Due primarily to production quality, these farmers struggle to earn a sufficient wage. While trying to provide for their families, the local environment often suffers. The persistent poverty has resulted in lower education levels, health care barriers, and decreased well-being. In an effort to empower the farmers and promote sustainable development, I have created a best practice guide that looks at five coffee production factors. The local farmers have specifically requested case supported, science-based information regarding these factors. The factors include farming techniques, drying practices, coffee specific small business skills, financial literacy, and coffee certification requirements. Access to information regarding these topics is intended to help reduce poverty, increase accessibility to quality education, and support local economic development, environmental health, and community health and well-being.

These documents were developed as part of the culminating experience project for the Masters of Sustainability Solutions (MSUS) graduate program. This report was developed for the ASU Foundation and the Fulton Center by Team Green Impact with the goal of establishing a facility based year for the foundation to meet their 2035 net-zero target. Contents of this report include: Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emission measurements for the Fulton Center, GHG emission reduction recommendations, an infographic for internal stakeholder engagement, and an example net-zero strategy the foundation can utilize in their current and future building. The purpose of the report and the infographic is to inform next steps for reducing GHG emissions and to help the ASU Foundation make progress towards their net-zero target.
