Trish also shares why she believes the next meaningful shift must focus on equity across the global supply chain, and why lasting change will only come when economic models work sustainably for producers, not just pleasing consumers.\nSubscribe to Trish's Substack and read her article on Third Wave Coffee here\nTune in to Picture Day on YouTube for more coffee adventures with Trish Rothgeb and Jay Lljewski\nCredits music: \"I'm Fine\" by Bobbi Stella in association with The Coffee Music Project and SEB Collective.
