Buying great-tasting coffee isn’t and shouldn’t be an act of charity: No farmer in the world is working this hard without trying to earn a profit, and being a for-profit landowner is the only way to sustain coffee production and ensure that the world gets the caffeine it needs.
This is a quote from a really great article that I came across that does a thorough job of outlining the current state of the coffee supply. The rising cost of coffee is something that has been getting a good bit of attention lately. There are so many factors in that demand. From weather impacts, crop issues, the urbanization of supplier regions and the overall increased demand of coffee around the world. One of the points made in the article that I really hope can be realized is that coffee farming can be seen as an appealing and lucrative life path for the future genorations making that decision.
