Figures suggest every cup of coffee that’s produced, on average, destroys around 5 cm squared of rainforest. From next year, coffee will not be allowed to enter the EU market unless it’s deforestation free. So you have to prove it. Coffee changes hands so many times that producers and suppliers have to work on one big thing; “traceability” and reduce the number of people who own it. In this episode we go to a coffee plantation in Uganda to find out how one of the world's biggest coffee companies is rewriting the rules on making clean coffee.
