The Good Food Awards Perspective

GFA began as an effort to honor food and drink in seven categories—including coffee—produced with social responsibility and environmental sustainability top of mind. However, over the past several months, GFA has come under fire from critics within specialty coffee who have questioned the awards’ process as well as its sustainability requirements.
