At the conclusions of the First International Coffee Rust Summit in Guatemala last month, the noted coffee agronomist Peter Baker confided to me that he did not think the event answered the most important question: “The Beyoncé Question.”
I was confused.
He elaborated: “It’s a line from one of her songs: ‘Who run this mother?'”
It looks like we will know the answer soon–the UN is hiring a coordinator for the coffee rust emergency response program, and it is moving fast. Candidates have just a week to submit their applications.
