Paper long abstract:

In this paper I attempt to present the different localities, enactments and materialities of objects, practices and people involved in the production of Colombian "sustainable special coffees". This presentation drawn the mattering of Sustainability, firstly enacted as a certification, in some specific locations such as the Coffee farm (as practices to produce sustainable coffees), a group of consumers, Non-profits organizations that promote sustainability by developing standards and certifications; the International Coffee Organization and the Colombian National Federation of Coffee growers which in alliance with CENICAFE (The National Centre for Coffee Researh) create and distribute knowledge and technology for achieving sustainability in the coffee production. This paper is a first exploration for analysing how those locations interfere and co-exist together and the network that makes possible transitions to sustainable production. Finally, this description is framed by the Science and Technologies Studies (STS) as a helpful contribution to deal with such complexities
