| Abstract: |
Coffee for Justice, initiated in 2003, has provided
opportunities for faculty and undergraduate student chemists and
engineers to engage in research and service with Nicaraguan coffee
producer families and their cooperatives. Collaborating institutions and
organizations have included: Catholic Relief Services/Nicaragua
(CRS/NI), the University of Central America Managua (UCA Managua),
Seattle University, and the University of Washington Bothell. The aim
was to apply the group’s scientific and engineering expertise using
appropriate technology to the questions of the artisan coffee farmers
and to put simple methods in their hands for improvement of coffee
quality. This presentation describes the project origins, research
results, and methods that have arisen from addressing the questions and
needs of the coffee farming community. It also describes how this
research and service project continues to evolve and broaden, for
example, in the design of an ecological coffee processing mill by a team
of student engineers. |
