Reviews

"""This book would make a fine addition to the library of any extension agent, Q Processor Pro, and even conscientious green coffee buyers. It illustrates how to think about improving the social and environmental sustainability of coffee production: by thinking of and treating coffee production as a complex system of interrelated and interdependent parts."" (Review by Michael Wright, Oil Slick Coffee Company LLC, USA) “Speciality coffees emerged to satisfy a specific group of consumers, and such segmentation of the market continues today with refined gradations in quality and taste, along with a greater focus on social and environmental sustainability…the latter trend in coffee consumption also highlights the need for coffee growers to shift their production systems to a climate-friendly approach. Not only to meet the respective demand in the coffee market, but also to contribute to reducing the environmental impact of the coffee industry. How this can be done is outlined in this highly interesting and easy to read publication. Overall, this book that is based on extensive research by a wide range of internationally recognised experts, is of interest to all stakeholders in the coffee value chain, including extension workers and their organisations.” (Dr Eric Tielkes, Book Review in the Journal of Agriculture and Rural Development in the Tropics and Subtropics)"
