(Conservation International) - Each McDonalds coffee roaster has developed a unique way of engaging directly with the coffee farmers that supply McDonalds beans.Surrounded by volcanoes and crater lakes, Nicaraguas tropical conditions are optimal for coffee production and the country is steeped in rich coffee traditions.Recently, I had the opportunity to visit the country alongside the McDonalds sourcing and sustainability team and their North American coffee roasters.McDonalds is one of CIs partners in the Sustainable Coffee Challenge, a coalition aiming to make coffee the first fully sustainable agricultural product.Additionally, to help strengthen demand for sustainable coffee, McDonalds is teaming up with other organizations to launch a collective action network to generate more sustainable sourcing commitments across the coffee industry.
