Episode 175: Leading sustainability at origin – a conversation with Benjamin Paz

In today’s episode we're speaking with Benjamin Paz – a third-generation coffee producer in Honduras and a leading voice in sustainable coffee farming.

In this conversation, Benjamin shares pragmatic solutions for sustainable coffee production, such as reforesting with native tree species, restoring natural shade canopies and adapting processing methods that save water and work in harmony with local ecosystems.

We also discuss the critical issue of labour shortages and systemic challenges in Honduras, and the strategies needed to ensure a thriving coffee industry for generations to come.
