My name is Hana Scheetz Freymiller and I am a recent graduate of Wellesley College in Massachusetts, majoring in development economics. Recently I received the 2007-2008 Wellesley Knafel Traveling Fellowship to study sustainable coffee production in six different
countries. Over the next year, I will spend two months in each of the following countries: Ethiopia, Kenya, Guatemala, Costa Rica,Indonesia, and India.
The goals of my fellowship are:
* To live in coffee growing communities and visit small farms to study
the effect of sustainable coffee farming on farmers' well-being.
* To look beyond its price and learn how coffee cultivation impacts
communal structures.
* To compare different types of certification systems and understand
their impacts on farming methods.
This blog contains both notes on my research and some quirky details of my everyday adventures.
I sincerely hope you enjoy.
