Coffee and Fair Trade: Have a Cup of Joe for a Better World!

 On the second day of May, the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO) celebrates World Fair Trade Day as a global event that brings together a diverse range of organization with common interests.

Improving economic conditions for disadvantaged producers; improving working conditions; paying a fair price for goods and services; assisting in the establishment of gender parity; and establishing accountability and transparency are just a few of these objectives.

Coffee is vital to the economy since it is second only to petroleum in terms of total quantity of beans sold worldwide, and it is the primary source of income for millions of people. Hundreds of local gatherings known as Fair Trade Coffee Breaks are held throughout the United States to commemorate this unique day. This isn't your typical "coffee break," by the way. Instead, they are community events that include music, coffee trade films, food, fashion, eco culture from many countries and ethnic groups, contests, children's games, and a variety of other family activities. They can be a fun way to spend the day, and they might be happening near you.

These "coffee break" events are an excellent way to sample local coffees and learn about coffee culture through exhibits and shows at various locations. The calendar of events is nearly infinite. Here are a few examples:

Roasting Coffee for Your Coffee Shop

  There are so many variables when considering roasting coffee for your coffee shop. This really is another career of sorts. You will now be responsible for more than just roasting coffee beans . You will also have to keep up proper roaster maintenance , buying and storing green coffee, proper packaging if you plan to pre-package your coffee (usually not a good idea, more on this later), and designating and keeping separate an area specifically for roasting.
