The Daily Coffee Pro Podcast by MAP IT FORWARD

This is the 3rd episode of a new five-part series on The Daily Coffee Pro by the Map It Forward Podcast, hosted by Lee Safar.

Our guests on the podcast today are Angela Barrero from Bodega de la Finca and Carlos Ordoñez from Grupo Monteverde in Colombia.

Angela is a coffee and cocoa producer specializing in regenerative agriculture and Carlos is an agronomist from the National University of Colombia with over 40 years of experience in the organic fertilizer sector, producing fertilizers through composting and vermiculture.

Angela and Carlos are trainers for our "Introduction to Regenerative Coffee Farming" online workshop series happening in late October 2024.

In this episode of The Daily Coffee Pro by Map It Forward, Lee Safar dives into the transformative power of regenerative coffee farming with guests Angela Barrero and Carlos Ordóñez.

Angela, a third-generation coffee farmer, and Carlos, an agronomic engineer with 45 years of experience, share their journey of revitalizing their farms using regenerative agriculture techniques.

They discuss the phases of their upcoming workshops designed to teach coffee producers how to restore soil health, reduce costs, and achieve sustainability.

Through real-life examples, they highlight the importance of integrating traditional methods with modern technology to ensure a thriving ecosystem and food sovereignty.

This episode is a must-watch for coffee producers looking to secure their industry's future and learn practical ways to apply regenerative agriculture.
