I understand your point, but I personally feel like we're at a point where anything you consume has downstream consequences that you mentioned. It doesn't even matter if you get made-in-the-(EU, USA, ETC) as the raw materials mined using the same bad practices.

There are many fair trade coffee's from local roasters where there is a minimum price for the green coffee for the farmers at the start of the chain.

yes, but if minimization is a goal, rather than perfection, it's still a good heuristic.

especially when there are better options, namely, paying more to smaller farms that pay better.
