Sustainable Agriculture: A Yunnan Solution
Members of GCAE did a field trip in Menglian, Yunnan, a major coffee production site. They got hands-on experience in the value chain of the coffee industry. In this trip, they discovered that owners of processing companies create a win-win solution with farmers by introducing multiple bonuses and emergency loans, building on Chinese relationism. Along with agricultural practices like planting shade trees in coffee fields, Menglian provides a both environmentally and socially sustainable solution to the world.
