As we prepare for the upcoming election cycle, we know you might want to start your day with a warm cup of coffee. But have you considered the impact climate change is having on your favorite morning ritual?
Coffee is a delicate crop, thriving only in specific conditions found in a handful of regions around the world, such as Brazil, Columbia, and Ethiopia.
However, rising global temperatures and unpredictable weather patterns pose a significant threat to these coffee-growing areas. In fact, climate change risks reducing the global area suitable for coffee production by up to 50%.
The challenges faced by coffee growers are mounting. Erratic rainfall and increasing temperatures are not only making it harder to grow the beans that make your cup of joe a delight, but it is also affecting the flavor and quality of the coffee you enjoy. The risk of severe weather events and long-term changes in climate patterns threatens not just this year’s harvest but the very future of coffee production worldwide.
The stakes are high, not just for coffee lovers, but for the millions who depend on the coffee industry for their livelihood. It's about more than just preserving your morning brew; it's about supporting the ecosystems and communities that cultivate coffee.
