These students are on the charity’s ‘Let’s Cook’ programme: an exciting mix of kitchen based learning and industry visits, as well as self-esteem and confidence building workshops.

Organic coffee has no nasty fertilisers or pesticides used in it’s cultivation, and is shade grown. Coffee plants like shade, but farming the plant under a tree canopy is much more difficult and intensive than in an open field. If coffee plants are in full sun, when it rains, there is more wash off which means less nutrients in the soil, more chemicals going into local water systems.
