A
Coffee is a favourite drink all over the world. In fact, 2.25 billion cups of coffee are drunk each day around the globe. It not only gives billions of people energy for their working days, but also supports over 120 million people in 70 countries. Unfortunately, due to climate change, areas where coffee can be grown will probably be reduced by 50% by 2050, according to the Climate Institute.
Rising temperatures and changing rainfall are already causing problems for coffee farms. To grow well and keep their flavour, coffee plants need a stable environment with specific temperatures and rainfall. This means that over the next few decades the taste and quality of coffee may be reduced. Warmer weather will also increase the risk of diseases such as coffee rust and damaging insects like the coffee berry borer. Currently the coffee berry borer causes annual losses of hundreds of millions of dollars in coffee beans.
Most of the world’s 25 million coffee farmers are smallholders (小农), and many live in poor areas in developing countries. Without support it is difficult for them to adjust to the changing climate.
Major coffee companies have been developing projects to try to help with this problem. They include extra support programmes for coffee farmers and a catalogue of coffee plants with information on each plant’s preferred climate and common diseases or insects.
