8. Shade Grown Coffee (2020)
Many coffee brands attach the shade-grown certification to their packages, but how much do you know about it?
Sun-grown coffee in open fields often has higher yields, but it comes with a cost to our environment; it can lead to soil erosion, it demands chemicals, and the plants use more water.
Alexander Kinnunen´s movie is an inspiring story about how coffee can be grown ethically and sustainably in the shade. It can have a truly positive impact on local communities, halting deforestation, protecting critical habitats for wildlife, and even producing better quality coffee.
