Etelle Higonnet founded Coffee Watch, a coffee industry watchdog. She joins Coffee People to share her journey into coffee.

"Coffee Watch is a nonprofit watchdog organization dedicated to the proposition that we should make the world a better place with each cup of coffee.

We fight to reform the global coffee industry.

Our resolve is unyielding. The coffee industry must change. The dark and bitter days of slavery, child labor, deforestation, and pesticide-soaked monoculture must end."
