Sustainable farming has been a staple of Ethiopian coffee farming for generations, and most coffee is grown under shade and is bird-friendly. In 2014, OCFCU partnered with a roasting house in the Netherlands with the aim to eliminate the reliance on wood for household use and produce carbon-neutral coffee from farm to cup. According to the plan, farmers are incentivised to participate in the scheme with bonus payments of USD$ 25 and cooking stoves are being distributed to families so that they will stop using wood for their cooking needs. The reduction of carbon dioxide with the new stoves compared to cooking over an open fire is up to 70%, and it is estimated that the project will generate over 30,000 carbon credits. The Fair trade premium from the carbon credits goes toward projects which will make communities better equipped to deal with the effects of climate volatility.

Cooperative management is answerable to their respective board of directors and the cooperative members, the vast majority of which are indigenous small landholders located in the Oromia region.

Soon, Oromia became the capital of coffee for the nation, holding more than 65% of the lands designated for coffee growth. The Union started by training farmers, agricultural staff, cooperative promoters, and government officials in cooperative principles for eight months. Initial
