In this episode, we learn from Amelia Franklin of Beanledger that the coffee industry is suffering a deeper crisis that anyone
realizes.

While the industry raises $370 million in certifications for sustainability, none of those funds are used to
combat climate change. No one is researching how to make coffee a sustainable crop, or how farmers
can protect their plants from coffee rust – that is, until BeanLedger. Amelia tells us exactly what’s at
stake for the coffee industry, and how desperately we need to fund research on coffee growing.
