Abstract

Summary of a panel discussion, "Navigating Economic Justice and Sustainability in Coffee," that was hosted by Portland's Coffee by Design on April 17. The panelists were: Heleanna Georgalis of Moplaco Trading of Ethiopia; Nico Herr and Kenneth Barigye of Mountain Harvest of Uganda; and Alexandre Mugisha, of Kalico Coffee in Burundi. They discussed the difficulties of being a coffee farmer and that many coffee farm workers live in poverty. They emphasized that consumers must recognize that higher prices ensure that coffee farmers can survive. Furthermore, consumers can help the industry by asking their local coffee roasters where their coffee comes from and if the farmers are being treated fairly.
