International Coffee Day
Supporting More Sustainable Coffee Production
International Coffee Day highlights the cultural, social and economic significance of coffee, and the people and communities behind every cup. This United Nations observance encourages the sharing of knowledge that can contribute to a more resilient and sustainable coffee industry. We asked our colleague Ricardo Wolfgramm from FertiGlobal Brazil to share his perspectives on the crop and how our Technologies support more resilient and sustainable production.
Far more than a global passion or the fuel of our daily routine, coffee is one of the most robust pillars of socioeconomic development and sustainability on the planet.
Currently, coffee cultivation is the livelihood for more than 25 million smallholder families around the globe. In many developing nations, coffee farming is the primary barrier against extreme poverty, generating direct jobs in the field, driving the local economy, and helping people remain on their land with dignity and financial autonomy.
When managed correctly, the coffee plant is a strong ally of the environment—protecting biodiversity, conserving water resources, and acting in the sequestration of carbon from the atmosphere. Furthermore, the global coffee supply chain has spearheaded rigorous certifications that guarantee fair labor practices and environmentally sustainable methods.
For humanity, coffee is a cultural heritage. Over the centuries, it has shaped history, stimulated creativity during the Age of Enlightenment, and continues to be the greatest catalyst for human connections. It is the third most consumed beverage in the world, with an impressive 2.25 billion cups enjoyed a day. All this passion fosters business, brings friends together, and awakens the intellect. Each cup carries the sweat of the producer and the richness of a unique terroir.
Producing exceptional coffee in a scenario of climate change requires innovation. This is where Fertiglobal transforms the field.
