Global Exchange : nacla1000.html (#)

„Americans seem ready for this new way of doing business. In a recent BusinessWeek/Harris poll, 51 percent of Americans interviewed said they support fair trade rather than protectionism or "free trade." Even the Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA) recently officially endorsed Fair Trade Certification, and has formed a task force to determine ways to promote it. The anti-sweatshop movement has struggled for years to answer to the consumer question, "I'd be happy to stop buying from Nike or GAP, but what should I buy instead?" As coffee demonstrates, the key to success is to educate consumers that another product exists, and to mobilize citizens to demand it. When it comes to our daily brew, an independently monitored alternative finally exists--one that sets a standard for fair trade in the global economy.“

In other words, the big picture is key where sustainable coffee growing is concerned. The SCAA believes the coffee industry should take the lead in sustainable agriculture worldwide, involving everyone from producers to consumers.“

Coffee Roasts: Notes from a Non-Roaster (INeedCoffee.com) (#)

„Until recently there has never been a definitive chart to say, to what color or roast degree, a roast of a certain name must subscribe to. The Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA), in an effort to add some uniformity to the industry, has put out a roast color chart. But that doesn't affect the brand new roaster who knows what they used to drink in a little Café in France and starts roasting a medium dark French Roast, nor does it affect the old time family-owned roaster who never even heard of the SCAA. If they have a coffee that has been their Italian Roast for 50 years, then it doesn't matter if the proper name of said roast on the SCAA chart is French or Viennese or Full City or whatever, it's still Italian Roast to them.“
