EP 1180 Komal Sable - Agroforesty and the Future Of Coffee Production - The Daily Coffee Pro Podcast by Map It Forward
This is the 4th episode of a new five-part series on The Daily Coffee Pro by Map It Forward Podcast, hosted by Lee Safar. Our returning guest in this series is Indian Coffee Producer and researcher, Komal Sable from South India Coffee Co. In this series, Komal and Lee explore the future of coffee in India with particular attention to the role that climate, regenerative agriculture, and low-intervention coffee species will play in securing coffee's viability in the years to come. In this episode of The Daily Coffee Pro by Map It Forward, Lee and Komal explore the concept of agroforestry and its crucial role in the future of coffee production in India. The discussion covers the subjective nature of agroforestry based on regional differences, the shift from monocropping back to agroforestry due to rising temperatures, and the benefits of a symbiotic ecosystem that supports sustainable coffee growing. They also touch on the financial investment required for smallholder farmers to adopt these practices. Tune in to understand how agroforestry can help de-risk coffee production and create a more sustainable future. 00:00 Introduction to Agroforestry 00:31 Sponsorship Message 01:09 The Future of Coffee in India 02:11 Understanding Agroforestry 04:02 Challenges and Adaptations in Agroforestry 10:45 Benefits of Agroforestry 15:53 De-risking with Agroforestry 18:17 Conclusion and Next Episode Preview 18:45 Closing Remarks Connect with South India Coffee Co here: Website - https://sicc.coffee/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/sicc.coffee/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/sicc-coffee Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/southindiacoffeeco/ •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Support this podcast on Patreon for a few dollars a month here: https://bit.ly/MIFPatreon The Daily Coffee Pro by Map It Forward Podcast Host: Lee Safar https://www.mapitforward.coffee https://www.instagram.com/mapitforward.coffee https://www.instagram.com/leesafar •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• This episode is brought to you by Map It Forward's revised on-demand online workshop "It's Time to Become a Coffee Consultant" available now on our website with additional new bonus material including the coffee consultant career map.
