Environmental and Labor Exploitation in the Coffee Industry and How Coffee Can Turn a New Shade with Agroforestry

Discussion with Etelle Higonnet on the environmental impacts of commercial monoculture coffee, including deforestation, loss of critical habitat, loss of biodiversity and amplification of climate change. We also discuss the structural inequities of the industry, with farmers earning the least in the value chain and the prevalence of child labor and forced labor in the industry. Additionally, we discuss the gaps in voluntary certification schemes and the need for both consumer activism, the EUDR and the Forest Act and the need for more regulatory oversight. We also discuss agroforestry and how coffee can be grown to provide food security to farmers as well as retain biodiversity and regenerate soil.
