About the talk

Coffee is one of the most consumed beverages around the world. While it is a luxury good in the United States (although some of us think of it as a necessity), cultivating coffee is a livelihood for millions of people around the world. This presentation by Geography professor Dr. Cynthia Pope-Portelinha will highlight how geographers view the coffee industry globally, with a focus on the lands and people who grow this commodity. This presentation features coffee tastings and food pairings, but you do not have to drink coffee to enjoy the talk. 

Registration coming soon!
