Coffee sustainability presentation at Labo Coffee

  • Labo Coffee YEG 10546 82 Avenue Northwest Edmonton, AB, T6E 2A4 Canada (map)

Coffee is one of the world's most popular drinks, with a global sector worth hundreds of billions of dollars annually. However, its long-term viability is threatened by climate change, pests, farmer poverty, and ageing farmer populations. Corporations, as the sector's most powerful stakeholders, are positioned to lead change and safeguard the future of coffee production.

Kaan discusses what actions the coffee sector is taking to safeguard the long-term viability of coffee production.
