Finca Las Brisas, located in Juayúa in the Apaneca Ilamatepec mountain range, is a clear example of how technology and sustainable agricultural practices can transform the future of coffee. While many producers in El Salvador have faced challenges such as climate change and rust, Carlos Pola has managed to maintain a healthy plantation with outstanding quality and increasing production.Carlos, the fifth generation of a family of farmers, worked in the textile industry for 20 years before devoting himself entirely to coffee in 2012, convinced that the specialty industry would bring new opportunities. Today, he manages Finca Las Brisas and two other family farms, where he has invested in technology and sustainability to boost production.One of his key innovations is the use of mycorrhizal fungi, which form a symbiotic relationship with coffee trees, improving nutrient absorption and water retention, which has allowed him to keep his trees healthy even in times of drought.
