Coffee
Manage episode 253772440 series 2527928
Coffee; We humans drink 2.25 billion cups of it per day but it turns out the method we use to grow the majority of it is pretty harmful to trees, birds and soil.
Tim drills into the specifics of how a change in the way we grow coffee that happened in the 1970s shifted farmers away from biodiverse, tree-shade grown coffee plants to Full Sun Cultivation, which requires lots of fertilizers and pesticides.
Our solutions for coffee drinkers;
- Try find shade grown coffee (quite tricky because the only certification is the Smithsonian's Bird Friendly Coffee)
- Always buy Fairtrade and certified organic
- Don't use disposable coffee cups
