Recenzje

'… I recommend this great book without any reservation to anyone interested in voluntary business practices toward sustainable goals - in coffee and beyond. It is theoretically sophisticated and empirically rich and is likely to inspire new ideas and conversations about the path toward more labor and environmentally friendly production.' Luc Fransen, Perspectives on Politics
