It's #InternationalCoffeeDay2020 and what better day to highlight #HiggsInnovation incubatee, Trade in Space, which is aiming to make coffee the world's first commodity to be traded with the help of satellites

Learn more from founder Robin Sampson https://stfc.ukri.org/news-events-and-publications/whats-happening/could-coffee-be-the-worlds-first-ever-commodity-traded-with-satellite-data/

Trade in Space’s technology uses #satellite data to collect information on things like area, weather & location of coffee crops to estimate the size and timing of the harvest

This information is then combined to set a market value for the coffee

Farmers can set their own market price and the end-user can bid, reducing the number of intermediaries in the chain
