Coffee

It seems as though consuming a morning cup of coffee has always been a part of the routine of the average Indian. However, up until recently, citizens have not put a great deal of thought into where it is that their prized beverage has come from. They look at whether or not they were, in fact, raised in an environmentally-friendly manner, such as through shade farms rather than sun farms. This socially responsible coffee can be found in forty countries, with leading locations like Peru, Ethiopia, and Mexico. In order to fully understand the goal of the coffee companies' production of socially responsible coffee, it is first necessary to look at the positive and negative effects of differing types of coffee growth, as well as ways to continue the growth of environmentally friendly coffee beans.
