Rainforest Alliance Certified stands for more sustainable farming and better opportunities for farmers, their families and our nature. The program enables the farmers to develop better farming methods and working conditions for themselves and create a brighter future for their children. The goal of the Rainforest Alliance is for farmers to grow better crops that generate more income for them, while protecting the environment and securing natural resources.

From kafferep to fika – the Swedish tradition of gathering at home to socialise, drink coffee and eat cookies has a long history. The custom came about during the 19th century and meant that the host was expected to serve exactly seven types of cookies to their guests. Fewer were considered stingy and more was seen as over the top, while seven was the perfect balance. At IKEA, we love this way of enjoying a special moment with others, no matter how many cookies are served.
