Transfair USA | Press Releases
„Unfortunately, the planting of full sun varieties usually requires the removal of shade trees, which has dramatically reduced habitat for birds and other wildlife. According to researchers from the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Program, studies in Colombia and Mexico found 94-97% fewer bird species in sun grown coffee than in shade grown coffee. With today's introduction of Cafe Verde™ and Cafe Verde™ Decaf, the National Wildlife Federation and Green Mountain Coffee Roasters are joining forces to call attention to both environmental issues and the economic crisis that millions of small-scale coffee farmers are facing. Coffee prices are at historically low levels, below most farmers' costs of production.“
