Transfair USA | Press Releases ()

  „Studies have shown that biodiversity thrives in this shaded environment. Recently, newer, heavier yielding coffee plants have been introduced in many areas that require full sun and significant amounts of agrochemicals. 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.“
