This is the 2nd episode of a five-part series on The Daily Coffee Pro by Map It Forward Podcast, hosted by Map It Forward founder, Lee Safar.
Our Guest on the podcast this week is George Howell founder of George Howell Coffee, Coffee Connection and co-founder of Cup of Excellence.
In this series, given George is a founder of the specialty coffee industry, we're exploring "The Coffee Industry According To George Howell" for a second year in a row. We traverse many different aspects of the industry in this series and try to explore how we got here, where we're at, and where we think it's going.
In this episode of The Daily Coffee Pro by Map It Forward, Lee and George discuss the coffee crisis and the rise of regenerative agriculture.
They discuss George's recent trips to coffee origins, the challenges faced by coffee producers, and the potential benefits of transitioning to regenerative farming.
The conversation sheds light on the complexities of the coffee value chain and the roles that producers, consumers, and consultants play in it.
