The Coffee Research Community is a growing network of university and research partners working together to explore how higher education institutions can leverage their knowledge, resources, and influence to support coffee-producing communities. Through collaborative projects, shared research, and dialogue across disciplines, the network investigates sustainable practices in coffee production, trade, and consumption, while also examining the social, economic, and environmental impacts of these practices.

By connecting academics, practitioners, and local communities, this community fosters innovative approaches to education, sustainability, and systems leadership, demonstrating how universities can play an active role in positively shaping coffee systems globally.
