Not earth-shattering, but it goes into some explanation of various certifications (fair trade, USDA organic, etc.), safety of those working in the industry, and brings up calculated consumer costs, such as importing from a healthier grower verses buying locally from a conventional one. Always nice to see these issues made mainstream.
