“What you are doing is very impressive. You have the capacity to translate something very complex into something that becomes manageable for many.”

“You really are the ‘Indiana Jones’ of Coffee! From your first visit to Brazil it was clear you had a different interest in the coffee industry than most, that you really wanted to see the producing countries to understand all the aspects that affect coffee production, understand the growers and how their quality of life is affected by the gyrations of the world coffee market, and understand how local culture and environment affect the final quality of the product. And to do that you wouldn’t mind travelling in difficult conditions to far away producing regions, many times places that has never before or after been visited by our partners in the trade or even by local press.”

–Marcelo Vieira, founding president of the Brazil Specialty Coffee Association

“An extraordinarily thorough and very challenging presentation for all of us that remarkably well represents what confronts many millions of poor people.”

 “I always appreciate great writing, impassioned beliefs, thorough research, commitment to ideals, and excellent delivery. Your lecture at the SCAA and your various materials on the Web is inspirational. It is no coincidence that yours was one of the first lectures or that it was so well attended. Your lecture was incisive, richly detailed, and full of implementable ideas. Your lecture text provides both the historical and current social-economic context more than any other white paper I have read from the World Bank or elsewhere.

– Prof. Donald Spanel, New York City, NY

  “The work you have accomplished during the past years has been greatly recognized by everyone who works within the coffee industry. The research done, its worldwide distribution and constant journalistic work undertaken with a great social sense and objectivity, has become the best tool to understand the coffee industry, its regions and the coffee growers themselves.”

– Dr. Jorge Cardenas Gutierrez, General Manager, National Coffee Growers Federation of Colombia 1963-2002
