‘…we choose to do something…’
- nicely said Danijela.
i understand the pressure to grow a
larger crop and reduce the cost of auditors.
my suggestion is to simply grow the crops
organically and let the market tell which
taste better. and which the consumer will pay for.
they can charge a premium and i’ll pay it.
howard, I wish it was that simple. However, there are a lot of other factors that knock the scale off balance in favor of everyone in the process past the farmer. Consumers are purchasing more organic, but that doesn’t mean that the farmers are getting more for their work.
Hi, Mike,
I am so glad that you have mentioned this topic. I think it is important to help people understand the value of fair trade, organic or rainforest alliance certified coffee.It’s simple – when we buy certified coffee beans we choose to do something good for ourselves, for the farmers but for the Earth also. Great article.
Thanks Danijela.
This is a good overview. Another thing to take into consideration is that the smaller crop that comes from organic growing means land is being used less efficiently. Thus organic coffee has a higher environmental footprint in some ways.
Daniel, that’s something that I’ve read as I’ve researched the topic. I have seen a couple times where they argue done right, it should produce a larger crop over time.
