Organic coffee is coffee
that has been grown according to
organic farming standards and techniques, without the use of
artificial fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides.![]() Many producers exclusively use the three main coffee certifications: shade-grown, organic, and Fair Trade. They do this in an effort to create a more environmentally and socially responsible product as well as to market it to more affluent socially responsible consumers In order to be sold as organic coffee in the U.S. it must gain organic certification and meet the following requirements:
The Effects of Organic Coffee on the EnvironmentOrganic agriculture stimulates the environment’s natural development of disease and pest control. Because much organic coffee is shade grown, large amounts of forest may be preserved. This preservation has many additional benefits: minimizing soil erosion, preserving habitat, especially for birds; further, the leaves from the trees and bird droppings naturally fertilize the soil. Birds also control pests by eating insects that eat the leaves of coffee plants. The Organic Coffee MarketThe initial amount of capital needed to grow an organic coffee crop is less than traditional because it does not require up front purchase of synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. It typically yields a smaller crop and thus the farms tend to make less money relative to the size of the farm. In 2006, 67,000 metric tons of organic coffee were sold in the world, while world coffee consumption, including both organic and non-organic coffee was estimated at approximately 6,900,000 metric tons in 2005.
