Some students take a class called "Coffee: From Bean to Cup." Coffee is Costa Rica's most important agricultural product. Professor Valerie Peters teaches the class. Her students help her study coffee farms in an area called Finca la Bella. Farmers in this area agreed to grow their coffee sustainably, using methods that do less harm to the environment.

Wedged into the northeast corner of Costa Rica, in Talamanca, is the co-operative APPTA, an organic and Fair Trade cacao and banana co-operative. The site I visited is just outside the town of Bribri, not far from some fantastic Caribbean coastline. I saw the cacao processing and also the organic farm, where bananas are grown for the national market and also many other produce that is sold locally. Cacao is Fair Trade and produced for export.
