7 BARISTA & FARMER INSTALLATION HALL SOUTH BARISTA & FARMER Unveiled at SIGEP the daily program of the fourth edition Barista & Farmer is the first international talent show devoted entirely to the world of coffee excellence. A unique and innovative education & competition project for the promotion of coffee culture, from harvesting in plantations in the countries of origin, through all stages of processing, using various different technologies, right up to the experience of tasting and all consumption opportunities. The participants in Barista & Farmer, all very high-level, will be involved in a comprehensive project that starts with the coffee plantation harvests, includes all the stages of coffee production and the range of technologies used and ends with coffee tasting opportunities and a look at the variety of ways coffee is enjoyed. They will attend the Barista & Farmer Academy, a special multidisciplinary school where they will follow SCA training modules on agronomy, botanics, raw coffee, coffee roasting and coffee extraction under the direction of Alberto Polojac, along with a large number of other experts with considerable international experience. Work and learning will be interspersed with opportunities for fun and relaxation, with themed games and competitions. FOLLOW US ON: The new talent show has added sustainability to its values of education and competition. And after the successful 2016 event hosted by Brazil (the first being held in in Porto Rico in 2013 and the second in Honduras in 2015), Lavazza will be among the main partners and sponsors of the event for the second time running. On the theme of what it means to make a sustainable coffee, Lavazza will play a major role in the Tierra! Project developed in 2002 in conjunction with the charity the Rainforest Alliance, which aims to improve the social, environmental conditions and production techniques of some coffee producing communities. One of these is Brazilian Lambarì, which hosted the last Barista & Farmer event won by Nikolaos Kanakaris, a 32-year old Greek barista from Athens. The format was created by Francesco Sanapo, multi-award-winning champion barista, and organized by SIGEP - Italian Exhibition Group, in partnership with World Coffee Events and in collaboration with Tierra! by Lavazza. 7
