Rigoberto Marulanda is a former FARC guerrilla member who has transformed his life through sustainable coffee farming. Born as the youngest son of Manuel Marulanda, a FARC leader, Rigoberto was deeply entrenched in Colombia's armed conflict from a young age. After years in the guerrilla ranks, he chose a different path, leaving behind a life of violence to pursue peace and community resilience through coffee. Rigoberto’s coffee project is dedicated to ethical and organic farming practices that not only protect the environment but also support local communities in post-conflict regions. Through his work, he seeks to promote healing, economic empowerment, and sustainability, demonstrating the power of transformation and reconciliation in Colombia’s coffee-growing lands.
