Climate change has caused poor harvests of coffee and poor income for coffee farmers.

Due to the impact of climate change, people's food, clothing, housing, and transportation are becoming more and more serious, as well as the impact on the livelihood of many farmers and fishermen. The topic of this discussion is "coffee", which will have an impact with the change of climate, from farmers' planting to consumers' one cup per person.

With the influence of globalization, coffee has gradually appeared in oriental beverage projects. Therefore, no matter where you go, this international drink can be enjoyed everywhere. In the era of climate change, growing coffee has become very difficult. In the past, it was best to grow coffee between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Cancer. After climate change, land and water shortages affected cultivation and led to an increase in climate refugees, such as the U.S.-Mexico border fence used to block the influx of Mexican people into the United States. Central and South America is the most suitable area for coffee cultivation, and now people in this region have to go to other countries to look for a glimmer of survival because of warming.

Due to the impact of climate change and immigration, the production of coffee has declined in the areas where coffee was originally grown, affecting the sales and consumers of well-known coffee chains around the world, as well as other coffee sellers. In order to avoid no future harvest of coffee beans, large and small enterprises have invested in coffee farmers, hoping to maintain output, quality and market production and supply. However, on Wall Street in the United States, there are still many people who make profits through short selling through financial means, thus worsening the already low price of coffee. Because this practice is against sustainability, many countries have begun to advocate "fair trade." If a cup of coffee costs 100 yuan, the cost of coffee beans is only about 4%, and the expensive part is in terms of labor costs, company operations and taxes. judging from the figures, we can see that farmers do not make much profit. Nowadays, when countries all over the world talk about "sustainability", the first thing is to eradicate poverty and the second thing is to overcome hunger. Although there is a lot of manpower input, the livelihood of coffee farmers has not improved so far.

I would like to appeal to coffee drinkers to think about coffee farmers and whether there are ways to solve the problems they face. After all, they have become people at the bottom of society, all because of their poor income and poor harvest caused by the environment and climate, which in turn affects the development of a sustainable society.
