Coffee has gone from being a household staple that we don’t think much about… to a MASSIVE industry with passionate and discerning coffee drinkers across the world. You’ve heard of fair trade and sustainability in the coffee world but what is the reality in the specific regions of the world where the coffee we love comes from. Daniel Erlich of the Coffee Co-Mission scratches the surface of this rich topic and reveals his work within the Coffee supply chain. Listen as he discusses the influence of the chemical industry and western motives into the more quaint, natural and picturesque world of coffee growing.
