The site was rather decrepit and people avoided it before 1965. A City of Greenville press release from 2004 described the space in the mid 1900s as in a severe decline. “The water was polluted and the grounds were littered with river debris and trash.” Adding further insult to the scene was the construction of the Camperdown Bridge which blocked views and access.

It advocates the payment of a higher price to exporters as well as higher social and environmental standards. It focuses in particular on exports from developing countries to developed countries, most notably handicrafts, coffee, cocoa, sugar, tea, bananas, honey, cotton, wine,[2] fresh fruit, chocolate, flowers, and gold.[3] Fair Trade is a trading partnership, based on dialogue, transparency and respect that seek greater equity in international trade. It contributes to sustainable development by offering better trading conditions to, and securing the rights of, marginalized producers and workers – especially in the South. Fair Trade Organizations, backed by consumers, are engaged actively in supporting producers, awareness raising and in campaigning for changes in the rules and practice of conventional international trade.[4] There are several recognized Fairtrade certifiers, including Fairtrade International (formerly called FLO/Fairtrade Labelling Organizations International), IMO and Eco-Social.

  • 2020 Annual Report
    2020 Annual Report Ensuring the future of coffee Coffee agriculture in 2020 The world was tested in unprecedented ways in 2020, and coffee agriculture was no exception. The global pandemic proved beyond a doubt that diversity confers resilience, whether we are talking about individual coffee farms, roaster supply chains, entire global economies or coffee genetic diversity. Coffee businesses need to build resilience to thrive in the 21st century, which will require innovation and creativity across the value stream, from small family farms to global retail giants. The stakes have never been higher than they are today for a tree crop like coffee: A plant put into the ground today will suffer the full brunt of the climate crisis over the next three decades. The supply chain begins with those seedlings, meaning everyone from farmers to coffee pickers to buyers to roasters to consumers will be affected by changes unfolding in the coffeelands. Our optimism for the future is unwavering. In 2020, despite a year of enormous challenge and uncertainty, 217 coffee companies—representing one-fifth of the global coffee market share—continued their support for collaborative science and innovation to secure a sustainable future for coffee. -Dr. Jennifer “Vern” Long WCR 2020 Annual Report 2 2020 Global Highlights Ensuring high cup quality for the Three new global public goods: future—82 variety candidates and • Development of a rapid, low-cost, accessions evaluated, many for the SNP-based DNA fingerprinting first time, by cuppers from 22 platform to accelerate

  • Revitalizing Greenville's West Side
    Revitalizing Greenville’s West Side Overview At the turn of the 20th century, the west side of Greenville, South Carolina, was a thriving commercial district. However, as commercial activity shifted away from cotton, mills along the Reedy River struggled financially, and many Greenville residents left the city. The west side, home to 4,200 people (roughly seven percent of Greenville’s population), became increasingly abandoned or blighted, with derelict manufacturing buildings, textile facilities, and vacant and abandoned service stations.1 While a series of Federal, State, local, and private investments in Greenville’s west side neighborhoods in the late 1990s and early 2000s began to incrementally increase economic activity, improve housing, and generally create amenities and destinations throughout the neighborhoods, the projects were conducted in relative isolation. Building upon these individual project’s successes, the city is hoping to increase economic benefits by linking and coordinating development efforts. Key results of investment in the west side include: Developing Falls Park and the Liberty Bridge created a regional attraction on the west side and spurred local investment, including the nearby $65 million RiverPlace mixed‐use development; Gross business sales in the neighborhood increased from $243.8 million in 2000 to $401.2 million in 2008;2 The area has experienced a 300 percent increase in property tax revenue from 2002 through 2012;3 Construction of Fluor Field, a minor league baseball stadium, funded through a public-private partnership on a formerly contaminated site, has led to over $91.5 million in private development on the neighboring blocks,4 contributing to the 31 percent annual increase in property value in the West End since 2006;5 Redevelopment of several west side vacant or unused properties into productive facilities serving the community, including construction of the Salvation Army Ray and Joan Kroc Corps Community Center (Kroc Center) and the A.J.

  • Greener Streets
    Greenville’s Greener Streets A Compilation of Interdisciplinary Educational Programming Designed to Introduce Students to the Benefits of Trees in the Urban Environment Developed for Greenville, South Carolina By Livability Educator, Jaclin DuRant Greenville’s Greener Streets Program A compilation of educational programming related to trees in the urban environment developed by the Livability Educator for the City of Greenville. Though often overlooked, trees are an essential part of a healthy urban environment. Trees clean our water and air, cool our homes, help our streets last longer, provide habitats for animals, and much more. Helping students develop a familiarity with and an appreciation for the benefits that trees provide us will enhance their connection to the place where they live, and encourage them to protect and conserve trees. The lessons, information, and materials in this program have been compiled from the Urban Naturalist Program and the Community Quest Program, part of the Curriculum for Sustainability that was developed by the Livability Educator for the City of Greenville. This compilation was developed as part of a Green Streets Grant from TD Bank. Acknowledgments This program would not have been possible without the hard work and support of a number of individuals. I would especially like to thank Amanda Leblanc, A. J. Whittenberg Elementary School Librarian for her help in developing programming, her support, and her friendship, the Connections for Sustainability Project team; Wayne Leftwich and Christa Jordan, and the Green Streets Project team; Ginny Stroud, Sarah Cook, and Dale Westermeier for all of their help and support, Emily Hays for her fabulous attitude, helpful edits, and for her hard work developing the program glossary, and all of the teachers and community center staff who have allowed me to work with their students to create and test activities that would be effective and fun for many different age groups.

  • Methods and Challenges of Sustainability Measurement for Small-Scale Coffee Roasters
    Methods and Challenges of Sustainability Measurement for Small-Scale Coffee Roasters Taylor Pfeiffer April 24, 2019 Advisor: Dr. Elizabeth Shapiro-Garza Associate Professor of the Practice of Environmental Policy and Management Nicholas School of the Environment, Duke University, Durham, NC Masters project submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Environmental Management degree in the Nicholas School of the Environment of Duke University. Executive Summary Strategic consideration of sustainability in business practices can create value for stakeholders, help manage supply chain risks from climate change, improve employee and customer retention, and increase the financial performance of a company (Whelan & Fink, 2016). Following the classic adage, “what gets measured, gets managed,” businesses across industries have realized the importance of quantitative sustainability assessment for internal accountability and external transparency purposes (Gardner et al., 2018). The coffee industry has embraced the idea of sustainability, but confusion exists regarding exactly how to measure and track sustainability impacts throughout coffee’s complex global value chain. Industry groups and agricultural sustainability organizations have provided some guidance on the topic of which sustainability metrics roasting companies should measure, but efforts to standardize these criteria across the industry have thus far failed to take into account the perspectives of small-scale roasting companies. Roasters range widely in size, and those on the smaller end of the spectrum may have access to fewer resources, different partnerships, and a variety of rationales for pursuing sustainability initiatives. These three factors may influence the way in which roasting companies choose to measure their impacts. The overarching objective of this research was to document the current methods of sustainability measurement used by smaller roasters and the main challenges that these roasters face in their pursuit of measurement.
