"Coffee Watch" serves as an international non profit and watchdog organization that has eyes all over the globe. Executive Director Etelle Higonnet joins the podcast to discuss how they're protecting workers throughout the coffee industry and ensure companies aren't utilizing slave labor or child labor. The international watchdog group also focuses on putting a stop to worldwide deforestation. Coffee is one of the top six drivers of worldwide deforestation as some of the coffee capitals in the world include countries with dense forests such as Brazil, Colombia, Vietnam and Ethiopia. Worker exploitation is also a MAJOR issue in coffee producing countries.

Coffee Watch is the #1 coffee industry watchdog organization in the world overseeing a 223 billion dollar a year industry involving over 100 million farm workers worldwide. Take a listen!

Jordan’s also a former prosecutor with the State Attorney’s Office for the 17th Judicial Circuit in Broward County Florida.
