Did you know that every coffee bean has its own story? Using nuclear technology, scientists can trace its origins—from the rain that provided the plant with moisture to the soil that nourished its roots. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), together with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), helps countries use nuclear techniques to ensure high-quality coffee and the authenticity of its origins. Learn how the University of Costa Rica is creating a geographic database for Tarrazú coffee, enabling laboratories around the world to verify the origins of this coffee and maintain its reputation.
