In 2014, UTZ published its first impact report. [19] This brought together 24 external studies and data collected by UTZ. It stated that UTZ cocoa, coffee and tea farms generate higher yields and better quality crops than conventional farms, and being trained in the UTZ Code of Conduct helps farmers to improve their knowledge and adopt sustainable farming practices. There are no independent scientific studies that prove positive effects of UTZ. Rainforest Alliance, FAQ: What Is the Difference Between Rainforest Alliance and Fairtrade Certification?, published 4 September 2020, accessed 31 January 2021I’ve read a lot of Bruce Chatwin and enjoyed all of it, but I’ve so far limited myself to his ostensibly non-fiction works. (Admittedly, the line between fiction and non-fiction is a hazy one with Chatwin, but I’m thinking here of his travelogues like In Patagonia.) Curiously, then, it was a work of non-fiction, Frederik Sjoberg’s The Fly Trap, that sparked my interest in Utz as an example of Chatwin-the-novel-writer.

Archived from the original on 2014-09-11. A certification body (CB) is an independent, third-party certifier. When approved by UTZ Certified, these organizations conduct annual certification inspections of coffee, cocoa and tea producers to determine whether they comply with the UTZ Certified Code of Conduct [14] and Chain of Custody requirements. [18] Trained agronomists [ edit ]In un lungo ricordo, l'io narrante del romanzo, lo stesso Chatwin appunto, cerca di scoprire che fine abbia fatto la preziosa collezione dopo la morte di Utz: quella stessa collezione che l'eccentrico protagonista aveva difeso con grande forza e determinazione, dal nazismo e dalla guerra prima e dal comunismo e dal marxismo poi, che sembra ora essersi volatilizzata o addirittura, nonostante le fitte maglie della burocrazia comunista, andata distrutta.

Orlìk, studioso di arte rinascimentale, sulle tracce dell'Imperatore Rodolfo II viene a contatto con Utz; ed è Orlìk a raccontarci dunque la vita solitaria dell'appassionato e maniacale collezionista sempre in fuga tra Praga, Dresda, Vichy per riuscire a conservare intatto il suo fragile tesoro; finché situazioni varie lo portano a una decisione drastica. A very peculiar, fine-and-fragile narrative that is equal parts emotionally and intellectually stimulating, wonderfully witty, by turns profoundly philosophical and satirical. UTZ is the second largest sustainability program in the world for coffee, after 4C (The Common Code for the Coffee Community). 870,102 metric tonnes of coffee was UTZ certified in 2016. [8] Cocoa [ edit ] A Swiss chocolate bar with the "UTZ Certified" label In 2014 the clothing label Burberry produced a collection inspired by Chatwin's books. [205] The following year Burberry released a limited edition of Chatwin's books with specially designed covers. [206]And as I recalled, as Utz pivoted the figure in the candlelight, that I had misjudged him; that he, too, was dancing; that, for him, this world of little figures was the real world. And that, compared to them, the Gestapo, the Secret Police and other hooligans were creatures of tinsel. And the events of this sombre century- the bombardments, blitzkriegs, putsches, purges- were, so far as he was concernedm so many 'noises off'.

While at work on The Songlines between 1983 and 1986, [117] Chatwin frequently came down with colds. [118] He also developed skin lesions that may have been symptoms of Kaposi's sarcoma. [119] After finishing The Songlines in August 1986, he went to Switzerland, where he collapsed in the street. [120] At a clinic there, he was diagnosed as HIV-positive. [121] Chatwin provided different reasons to his doctors as to how he might have contracted HIV, including from a gang rape in Dahomey or possibly from Sam Wagstaff, the patron and lover of Robert Mapplethorpe. [122]Utz wonderfully depicts that sad, romantic city of Prague, the ham-handedness of East European politics, a small gallery of deftly drawn characters. Chatwin's deepening portrait of Utz is cunningly achieved. . . . It is triumphant." -- The Washington Post The accuracy problem had arisen before his death, and Chatwin had admitted to "counting up the lies" in In Patagonia, though he stated there were not many. [191] While researching Chatwin's life, Nicholas Shakespeare stated he found "few cases of mere invention" in In Patagonia. [192] Mostly, these tended to be instances of embellishment, such as when Chatwin wrote of a nurse who loved the work of Osip Mandelstam – one of his favorite authors – when in fact she was a fan of Agatha Christie. [192] When Michael Ignatieff asked Chatwin his opinion of what divided fact from fiction, he replied, "I don't think there is [a division]." [193] The eponymous Utz is Kaspar Utz, a man of forgettable face but unforgettable passion - for porcelain figurines. Utz devoted his life to collecting his porcelain treasures, and ensuring their safety throughout the years and wars. He keeps all thousand pieces in his small, two-room apartment in Prague, permitted by the Czechoslovak regime to do so on the grounds that he will bequeath the entire collection to the state after his death. Although Utz is the main protagonist, he is not the narrator - the story begins with his funeral, and is narrated by a man who spent a little more than 9 hours with Utz when he was alive, and collected the rest from his few friends. This is Chatwin's unforgettable novel of a man in war-torn Communist Prague, driven to protect his collection of porcelain figurines at any cost.
