Abstract
This paper discusses some contributions from Social Studies of Science and Technology (STS) in understanding the socio-technical configurations that sustainability standards bring on coffee production. STS addresses the importance of invisible social and material infrastructures institutional and practical orders. This explores the analytical and empirical landscape of sustainability standards on coffee production.
