Ethiopia: Farmers embrace sustainable agriculture

Farmers in Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee, have announced the birth of a sustainable coffee movement. The group of 678 family farms in the Djimmah region are the first in Africa to win Rainforest Alliance Certification. The news marks the Rainforest Alliance's first coffee partnership outside Latin America, where more than 3,400 farms in ten countries already promote socially responsible and environmentally sustainable agriculture.
