Sustainability Series #1 : The Farm

Welcome to the Sustainability Series from Biocaf and Keys to the Shop!  To kick off this series we will be exploring sustainability where all the potential of a coffee and the foundation of our industry is concentrated. The farm.  How we define and understand sustainability here creates a ripple effect that impacts every action we take along the value chain.  As we explore sustainability on the coffee farm we will be discussing everything from organic production, farmer cooperatives, and climate change - to legacy, genetic/crop diversity, and organic production. All of this with the aim to create clarity on the issues and highlight the movements currently making positive change that we can be inspired by, work along side of, and support in their big for sustainability on the farm.  Our Guest for this Episode include: Marcos Croce: Owner of Fazenda Ambiental Fortaleza (FAF) Brazil Esperanza Dionisio: General Manager of the Pangoa Cooperative in Peru Erika Koss : SCA instructor and Sustainability Consultant at "A World in your Cup" Kim Elena Ionescu: The Chief sustainability Officer for the SCA Vern Long: CEO of World Coffee Research Stefanie Tye: Climate Resilience Researcher with The World Resources Institute Guest Links:  F.A.F.
