A cup of coffee, the seed that changes the world

The problems in the coffee industry have existed for a long time. As the world moves more and more towards capitalism, farmers at the bottom of the complex structure and neglected ecological problems are finally discovered, followed by sustained initiatives and even the establishment of a different model. let more people have different choices; you can also do your part for small farmers and ecology.

The rise of Fair Trade, Organic, Shade Coffee and friendly Bird Coffee in Mexico is closely related to the consumer movement in Europe and the United States. When consumers find that ── Coffee, a popular commodity in the world, has led to the exploitation of small farmers and the environment of producing areas, how to use the power of moral consumption has become a new possibility to change the world.

At present, organic coffee production accounts for 1.5% of the global coffee market; behind this figure, it also represents the story of small farmers living in dignity in many third world countries. In the coffee market, Fairtrade is closely related to organic coffee, and 80% of the world's organic coffee is also fair trade coffee. As we drink a cup of organic, fair trade, or even shady, bird-friendly coffee, it is perhaps more important to keep in mind that this figure accounts for only a small portion of the global market; this means that we are still a long way from our desired goal of ecological sustainability and social justice, and there is more we should strive for.
