CAMBRIDGE, MA--(Marketwired - April 13, 2017) - Elsevier, the information analytics company specializing in science and health, today announced the publication of The Craft and Science of Coffee, edited by Britta Folmer. The book follows the coffee plant from its origins in East Africa to its current role as a global product that influences millions of lives though sustainable development, economics and consumer desire. Elsevier also announced the publication of six additional food science and safety books.
By combining the research and insights of the scientific community and expertise of crafts people, The Craft and Science of Coffee brings readers into a sustained and inclusive conversation, in which academic and industrial thought leaders, coffee farmers and baristas are quoted on topics ranging from on-farming processes to consumer benefits. The unique book includes expert discourse on the coffee value chain, from agricultural and production practices, sustainability, post-harvest processing, and quality aspects to the economic analysis of the consumer value proposition. It also outlines the key challenges of future coffee production and potential solutions.
