Why Choose Bird Friendly Coffee
Not all coffee farms are created equal. Generally, farms that look like forests, often called “agroforests” for their mix of coffee shrubs and stands of trees, typically house higher bird diversity than monoculture farms that have little or no natural canopy cover. “The more it looks like a forest or feels like a forest, that’s the issue,” says Robert Rice, a geographer at the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center.
While this idea may be simple, choosing coffee that’s good for birds and other wildlife is not so clear-cut. Here's what you should consider the next time you’re out for caffeine.
