Organic Certification, Pesticides in Coffee, and Fair Trade, with Ildi Revi

Coffee seed to cup expert Ildi Revi is back on the podcast to shed some light on all things coffee cultivation. First Ildi discusses pesticide use and regulation, and how the structure and type of crop often determines the level of pesticides farmers are allowed to use. Then Ildi talks about the major differences in organic coffee farming vs traditional farming. Then the conversation turns towards organic certification, and Ildi shares how it goes far beyond how the plant is grown, and actually involves many standards and guidelines for high quality coffee production. Jordan and Ildi wrap the show by discussing Fair Trade, and what exactly it indicates. —Ready to get started drinking delicious, organic, consciously sourced, healthy coffee?
