  • This is the 2nd episode of a five-part series on The Daily Coffee Pro by Map It Forward Podcast, hosted by Map It Forward founder, Lee Safar.

    Our guest for this series is US-based industry veteran, Madeleine Longoria Garcia. Having returned from the SCA Expo in Chicago, this series is focused on exploring 'The Conversations We're Not Having in Coffee That We Should Be Having".

    In this episode of the series, Madeleine and Lee delve into the concerning trends within the coffee industry.

    They take a critical look at the unsustainable quest for cheaper coffee by businesses, which is seen as a sign of unhealthy business practices.

    Reflecting on their observations from the recent SCA Expo in Chicago, noting a 'crack in the glass' – a metaphor for the unsettling realization among industry participants that there's a disconnection from meaningful engagement and a need for a critical reevaluation of the coffee business model.

    They argue that at its core, the coffee industry is built on a colonialist foundation that marginalizes producers and benefits a select few.

    Throughout the episode, the discussion focuses on the necessity of empathy in business practices, the need for educated and responsible business owners in the coffee industry, and a call to action for producers to refuse to sell their coffee at unsustainably low prices.

    The episode wraps up with a teaser for the next part of the series, which will tackle the issue of paying beyond the cost of production.

  • This is the 3rd episode of a five-part series on The Daily Coffee Pro by Map It Forward Podcast, hosted by Map It Forward founder, Lee Safar.

    Our guest in this series is returning guest, Brazilian coffee Agronomist, Jonas Ferraresso and this series explores the state of the Brazilian Coffee Supply Chain in 2024.

    In this episode of the podcast series, Jonas and Lee explore the significant impact geopolitics have on the coffee supply chain, particularly focusing on Brazil's coffee production ecosystem.

    They discuss how the war in Ukraine has led to skyrocketing fertilizer prices due to Russia's prominent role as a fertilizer exporter, affecting not only coffee growers but the broader agricultural sector. This situation prompts a discussion on how countries, including Brazil, are exploring alternative fertilizer sources and the ways in which geopolitical tensions and trade relationships affect global food and coffee prices.

    Additionally, they reflect on the broader implications of food as a geopolitical tool and the potential future challenges in food security and coffee production. The conversation also touches on the new EU Deforestation Regulations (EUDR) and its potential impact on coffee trading with Europe.

    This episode aims to shed light on the intricate connections between geopolitics and the coffee industry, emphasizing the urgent need for solutions to ensure the sustainability of coffee production and global food security.
