Mexico passed its first Sustainable Coffee Development Law. #Coffee is now recognized as strategic for #foodsovereignty, with support for #shadegrown systems, fair pricing, and more 👇 https://mexicobusiness.news/agribusiness/news/mexico-enacts-sustainable-coffee-development-law

When coffee is grown alongside trees, it store carbon, protect soils, conserve water, & support farmer livelihoods. Our new Coffee Agroforestry E-Library brings this research together in 1 place—making it easier for farmers, advocates, and policymakers. coffeewatch.org/new-coffee-a...

The Coffee Agroforestry E-Library is live — the world’s 1st open database of ALL scientific research on shade-grown coffee. 🌱☕ 👉 https://www.zotero.org/groups/5774219/agroforestry_with_coffee/library #CoffeeAgroforestry #SustainableCoffee

A hidden part of coffee’s footprint goes unnoticed ☕⚡ Most emissions tied to espresso machines come from the energy they use every day. New life cycle assessments show that up to 96% of emissions happen during operation. https://www.gcrmag.com/the-new-key-to-creating-a-sustainable-coffee-industry/

Trade deals should not poison people or the planet. The EU–Mercosur agreement risks accelerating deforestation, increasing emissions, and allowing toxic pesticides—banned in the EU—to be used abroad and re-enter through imported food.

A morning cup can have a big negative impact ☕ Journalism that exposes the industry's rampant deforestation & human rights abuses can have a huge positive impact @coffeewatch.bsky.social used @mongabay.com reporting to file a 307 Petition that US Customs is now taking very seriously:

Coffee is part of so many of our daily moments ☕ How coffee is grown shapes ecosystems, livelihoods, and the future of farming. Choosing with ethical and sustainable coffee can help protect both people and the planet 🌍

Agroforestry is bringing life back to the Leuser Ecosystem. By growing coffee in harmony with the forest, communities in Aceh are protecting wildlife and rebuilding their livelihoods.

Coffee is more than a drink. It is a system that can either uplift communities or fuel deforestation, low wages, and climate risk ☕✨ #EthicalCoffee #RegenerativeAgriculture #ClimateJustice

The Akha community of Maejantai grows forest-based coffee that protects culture, biodiversity, & climate resilience. 🌿🌧️ Agroecological traditions show why Indigenous knowledge is needed sustainable coffee https://www.slowfood.com/insights/indigenous-peoples-and-coffee-a-heritage-rooted-in-the-land/

Coffee should not come at the cost of #humanrights or the #planet. Add your name to demand a #coffee supply chain free from exploitation and environmental destruction. action.wemove.eu/sign/2025-07...

#Coffee should not require #deforestation. Shade-grown and agroforestry coffee keeps trees standing, protects birds and pollinators, restores soil health, and helps farmers adapt to climate change.

#Regenerativeagriculture is helping farmers build #climate resilience. 🌱 Ethiopia: 20+ million native trees planted to restore degraded mountains 🌱 Dominican Republic: #Agroforestry boosting yields by 79% and reducing poverty by 91% And many more! 👇 https://blog.ecosia.org/ecosia-coffee-projects/

Sweden’s coffee habit is now driving more Amazon deforestation than beef. Yes, you read that right. ☕➡🌳❌ New data shows Swedish coffee consumption was linked to 331 hectares of Amazon forest loss in 2022 — about 463 football fields. Beef came in second at 236 hectares.

New episode alert! 🎙️☕ Our founder, Etelle, unpacks the need for sustainability in the global coffee industry—deforestation, child labor, modern slavery, extreme poverty, transparency, accountability, and how consumers can drive real change. open.spotify.com/episode/1WO7...

☕️🌱Coffee does drive deforestation - but it does not have to. Agroforestry systems — where coffee grows under a canopy of native trees — protect biodiversity, store carbon, and rebuild soil health.

☕🌱 The Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment (CCSI) and the UN SDSN created the SDG-Based Coffee Handbook, helping countries design costed national plans that strengthen coffee regions and support the people who grow our coffee.

✊🚨The Red Cup Rebellion began Nov 14 and continues as Starbucks baristas strike for fair wages and respect. Exploitation runs through the entire coffee chain, from growers to stores worldwide. Solidarity with all workers!! ✊ #RedCupRebellion

🚨 As leaders gather in Belém for #COP30, one truth is being overlooked: coffee is deeply woven into the climate and deforestation crisis. 737,000+ hectares of forest cleared inside Brazilian coffee farm boundaries, and over 11 million hectares lost.

Keurig is facing a CAD $1.85 million settlement over allegations that it falsely marketed its plastic coffee pods as “recyclable” ♻️ even though most municipalities could not process them. dailycoffeenews.com/2025/11/12/k... #Greenwashing #Coffee #Keurig #plasticwaste

COP30 is now in full swing, and there is one issue that still deserves far more attention: coffee-driven deforestation. Coffee Watch’s latest findings reveal 737,000+ hectares of forest cleared inside Brazilian coffee farm boundaries and over 11 million hectares lost.

☕ Brazil produces 40% of the world’s coffee— but by 2050, it could lose two-thirds of its Arabica-suitable land if deforestation continues. It’s time to shift to regenerative agroforestry. 🌿 🔗 coffeewatch.org/wake-up-and-...

Between 2001 and 2023, over 11 million hectares of Brazil’s forests — an area the size of Honduras — have been destroyed. Within that, at least 312,000 hectares were cleared directly for coffee farms. 👉 Read the full report: coffeewatch.org/wake-up-and-...

Brazil has lost 11M hectares of forest to coffee — the 6th largest driver of deforestation worldwide. Now, droughts are cutting rainfall by 50% as the “flying rain” from trees disappears. ☕ No forests, no coffee. 👉 coffeewatch.org/wake-up-and-... #CoffeeWatch

Agroforestry—growing coffee under shade trees—can store twice as much carbon as monocultures and protect farms from drought. Yet today, less than 1% of Brazil's coffee farms use this climate-resilient approach. It's time to change that. Learn more coffeewatch.org/wake-up-and-...

Deforestation & #climate also killing coffee producers: other probs w/ the industry are forced labor & child labor Our podcast discussed these w/ the founder of @coffeewatch.bsky.social All these ills are tackled by brands buying from producer coops growing beans w/ #agroforestry like Dean's Beans

Starting in 2026, all coffee entering the EU must be deforestation-free. 🌱 Half of Brazil’s $4.8B coffee exports could be at risk if supply chains can’t prove forests are intact. 👉 coffeewatch.org/wake-up-and-smell-the-deforestation #EUDR
