Northern Coffee Roasters Unite to support Farmers' Voice Radio!
Borne out of our invitation from Cup North to participate in the 2021 Manchester Coffee Festival and an introduction to North Star Coffee Roasters, representatives of the speciality coffee industry in the North of England have come together to support and promote the Farmers’ Voice Radio Academy as a way of building a more certain future for everyone in the coffee sector. Through regular donations from a number of cafes, roasters and importers, we are able to offer a dedicated Academy programme for coffee organisations in a range of origin countries, enabling them to reach millions of smallholder coffee farmers with the knowledge and information vital for sustainable coffee production.
Holly Kragiopoulos of North Star Coffee Roasters explains why they have chosen to support Farmers' Voice Radio: "As a small independently run business operating within a global supply chain, impact can often be a tricky concept for us to talk about. We are always looking for ways in which we can contribute to safeguarding our industry's future, but occasionally the problems can seem overwhelming! Farmers' Voice Radio seems to be offering a genuine solution to many of the coffee sector's most pressing issues, to bring about more resilient ways of working in the face of climate change and to encourage more youth in coffee. Not only is this an incredibly valuable initiative, it is far-reaching in its impact and it is in the hands of those it seeks to serve - an approach in keeping with our ethos here at North Star."
