It
is commonly recognized that organically grown coffee is
the most important criteria for sustainable agriculture.
Since the widespread introduction of herbicides, pesticides,
and artificial fertilizers in the 50s, there has been a
need to increase use of toxins to keep up production levels.
The current levels of toxin use are up over ten times what
it was during the first introduction.
Clearly,
this form of agriculture is not sustainable. All other forms
of life on the plantation have been sacrificed at the altar
of this toxic green revolution. The men, women and children
forced out of economic necessity to work on these plantations
have suffered from a witch's brew of techno-chemicals that
promises to carry on its destructive force through future
generations.
Though
early organic coffees were really wild, poorly graded coffees,
the demand for specialty grade organic coffee has given
rise to the availability of some really good cupping coffee
worthy of the high praise normally reserved for very special
estate coffees. Indeed, as in the wine industry, some estate
coffee plantations have converted acreage to specialty grade
organics.
