Degrowth, Mutual Aid, and the Future of Coffee
At QUE ONDA, we believe in a coffee industry built on relationships, sustainability, and mutual aid—not the extractive logic of capitalism. Degrowth challenges the pursuit of endless expansion, advocating instead for a system that prioritises people and the planet. From resisting corporate consolidation in coffee to rethinking economic structures, our work aligns with a radical vision of justice, equity, and cooperation. True sustainability demands a shift away from market-driven exploitation towards a future where those who grow coffee have control over their livelihoods.
Coffee in the Anthropocene: Challenges & Solutions for a Sustainable Future
The Anthropocene is the era where human activity is shaping the planet more than natural forces. Climate change, deforestation, and pollution are major challenges, and coffee production is deeply connected to them. But there is hope—by changing how we grow, source, and drink coffee, we can create a more sustainable future.
Biodynamic Coffee
Biodynamic coffee farming takes a holistic approach that goes beyond sustainability by focusing on the interconnectedness of nature, human knowledge, and the cosmos. Reviving ancient practices and avoiding conventional fertilisers, biodynamic methods cultivate harmony between plants, animals, and the environment. With an emphasis on biodiversity and lunar cycles, this farming approach not only enhances the quality and complexity of the coffee but also improves resilience to climate change and disease, fostering long-term economic stability for farmers. Discover how biodynamic coffee offers a richer, more sustainable way forward.
