This is the 4th in a 5-part series with Japan-based Colombian ecological scientist, coffee expert, and business owner of Colors Of Coffee, Andres Felipe Ospina. This series explores "The dangerous impact of using Foreign Microbes in Coffee Processing" In this episode of the series, Andres Felipe explores the lasting damaging impacts of when roasters, baristas, and traders tell producers what coffees they should produce and what processing methods they should implement. The ripple effects reach far and wide and are often far more destructive than they are constructive.Connect with Andres Felipe on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andres-felipe-ospina-ramírez-a8a8bb13/ Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/colorsofnatureco/ and https://www.instagram.com/la_cereza_crc/ Website: https://www.colorsofnature.co Reference material:https://costarica.inaturalist.org/projects/especies-introducidas-en-costa-rica https://www.ecologiaverde.com/especies-invasoras-que-son-ejemplos-y-consecuencias-3251.html https://es.khanacademy.org/science/ap-biology/ecology-ap/disruptions-to-ecosystems/a/invasive-species https://www.invasivespeciesinfo.gov/terrestrial/pathogens-and-diseases https://elcomercio.pe/tecnologia/ecologia/hongo-quitrido-peligroso-hongo-que-extermina-anfibios-en-el-mundo-ya-llego-al-peru-noticia/ Short explanatory videos on invasive species and loss of biodiversity: Both very short and explanatory. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBL-ZRSsHic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KuTgY-UPZTI https://www.mapitforward.coffee ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••?
