Thanks for an amazing article! I have been involved for almost forty years in these issues and have seen the evolution and devolution, corporate capture, recreation of north-south hierarchies and more in the ever evolving world of certifications. This was a clear, concise and truly learned interview. I am sending it all over the world to farmers, certifiers, ngo's and beyond!

Thanks so much for this. At the Sustainable Herbs Program we are working to explore/try to address these very issues in sourcing herbs, trying to figure out how to address those underlying power imbalances... I look forward to your deeper dive and to following this discussion.
