Coffee: Terroirs and Qualities

This is a new revised and enhanced version of Cafés : terroirs et qualités published in 2003. It arose form meetings between people who study coffee growing from different angles: the plant itself, a geographical and socio-economic approach; its cultivation and processing, and agronomic and technological approach.

Taking concrete examples, it analyses the relation between terroirs and qualities; it also examines the role of quality in coffee sector revival programmes, and how the coffee supply chains perform in the face of market realities. It is intended for a broad readership: researchers, students, managers in the coffee supply chain, representatives from producer groups, policy-markers and manufacturers.
