Synopsis
Our culture has formed a romantic attachment with a cup of coffee. We drink 2.25 billion cups per day. The grounds of the coffee industry, the side we are not supposed to see, has typically taken advantage of the workers in most of the developing nations that rely on coffee as a primary export. Fairly traded coffee, an alternative that is gaining support in the mainstream, offers a tangible way for the western world to act globally with minimal effort. Local and international companies dealing in the marketing of coffee have realized the trend towards a politically correct cup of coffee; satisfying the consumer's thirst for a fair cup of coffee has real benefits for the farmers of coffee around the world.
