What is Organic Coffee?
Organic coffee does not utilizes pesticides or other chemical solutions to natural problems. Rather organic methods include building healthy soil through composting, terracing, and inter-cropping. Organic farmers utilize biological pest control. They incorporate shaded trees and various other sustainable agricultural tools for the health of their coffee trees. They are moving towards the sustainability of the soil, water and ecosystem they use.

Shade-tree Grown
Organic coffee is typically 'shade grown' under a canopy of trees that filters the sun. This is sometimes referred to as 'bird-friendly coffee' because the trees preserve habitat for migratory birds and other wildlife. In this regard, the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center is said to have documented sightings of up to 150 species of birds on a shaded coffee farm, compared to just five to 20 on a conventional coffee farm. The trees also help to conserve water and topsoil by providing a mulch cover, and the birds act as a natural defence against bugs and other pests. Shade-grown coffees also tends to mature more slowly, which many people believe produces a superior tasting bean. Interestingly, shade-tree growing was the traditional way of growing coffee before the industry became as commercialised as it is today.
In contrast, conventional 'full sun' coffee, which was developed in the 1970s and 1980s to increase productivity, is grown without tree cover to allow the coffee plants to be grown closer together. Chemical fertilisers and pesticides, such as DDT, malathion and benzene hexachloride, must be used to compensate for the lack of nutrients and biological diversity.
Who Decides what is Organic?
Several independent third-party certification agencies, such as the Organic Crop Improvement Association, have been established to verify the claims of organic coffee producers. If an agency determines that a grower's operations adhere to its standards, they are allowed to market coffee under the certifier's label. Certification can, however, be expensive, and some organic farmers choose not to spend the extra money to have their farming practices validated by an outside party.
Organic coffee is also closely linked with 'fair trade coffee', which involves paying coffee producers a fair price for their product. As with organic coffees, various third-party agencies have been established to certify fair trade producers.
