Global Exchange : U.S. AID, roaster agree to help coffee growers ()

  „AID said the goal of its alliance with Green Mountain was "to mitigate the crisis by supporting the development of small- and medium-scale coffee systems that are environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable.

  „In New York this week, the non-profit Rainforest Alliance saluted coffee industry leaders, from small Latin-American coffee growers to large retailers like Starbucks, for their environmentally and socially responsible business practices. The Rainforest Alliance has been the driving force behind convincing industry leaders that producing and selling coffee that doesn't destroy forests, endanger wildlife or exploit laborers is good for business.
