  • The village Choche, in Jimma, (once the capital of the region known as Kaffa)  is beleived to be the original birthplace of coffee. Legend says that  a goat herder named Khalad noticed his goats "dancing" after eating the red cherries and he took the cherries to a local monastery. The monks proclaimed it must be the work of the devil and threw the beans into a fire but soon became excited by the lovely aroma the roasting beans gave off. They then decided it might be nice to try consuming the beans and this is how coffee began.  Ethiopia boasts the most ancient and compelling traditions for coffee consumption that the world has ever seen. Coffee permeates the cultural fabric of Ethiopian life and it unites the country. It binds the many different ethnic groups together, Christian or Muslim, rich or poor. An elaborate extension to Ethiopia's warm sense of hospitality, the coffee ceremony is a daily social ritual to honour the importance of the bean, and strengthen human bonds.

  • Even in the pre-dawn light, cries of the farmers in the village of Bounessa in the Affole region of Mauritania ring across the valley, challenging the birds that want a share of the ripening sorghum. Bounessa is a village of only 61 families, all of one sub-clan and tribe, the Swaqer of the Hel Sidi Mahmoud. The families were once nomadic,  but since they built a dam in 1960, they are settled now. "We were tired going from one place to another. Before the dam (was built) we cultivated where we could. With the dam and the cereals we have a new life. We can buy goats and sheep. Now I have stayed in a permanent house for seven years. " (Photo by Ami Vitale)
