Climate change affects coffee production. 25 million coffee farmers' livelihoods are threatened.
A coffee farmer in the Mexican state of Chiapas recently talked about drastic climate change in an interview with Alicia Frank, a researcher at the University of California. In the past, there was usually only mild drizzle, but now there are frequent torrential rains, causing coffee trees to flood.
These problems are by no means confined to Mexico. In South America, Asia and Africa, droughts, torrential rains and pests caused by global warming are causing coffee plants to wither and reduce production. A whole year's coffee harvest may depend on the florescence of just a few days, when plants are particularly vulnerable to extreme weather.
Without effective action to change this phenomenon, coffee production will be halved in recent decades, the Australian Climate Research Institute said at a news conference. Wild coffee will be in potential danger of extinction by 2080.
Companies such as Starbucks and Lavazza, as well as international coffee organizations, have publicly acknowledged the severity of the climate risk, "Connor said." "consumers may face supply shortages, affecting flavor and flavor, and rising prices."
Coffee will become an almost luxury commodity. According to forecasts, the price of coffee could rise by about 25% by 2050. As technology advances and yields continue to increase, other crops become cheaper and cheaper, and this price increase will be particularly prominent. So, if you take this into account, the price of coffee has actually risen by more than 50%.
In this case, it will be very difficult for coffee farmers to make a profit. After years of struggle, many of them may choose to grow crops with more stable yields. Given the huge benefits, there are bound to be people who will find ways to get coffee in short supply-which could mean paying a huge environmental price.
It is estimated that at least 25 million people are engaged in coffee-related occupations, and although many farmers watch TV weather reports every day and do everything possible to cope with the coming torrential rain, they still feel helpless. Perhaps the livelihood of 25 million people depends on whether scientists can find a way to protect fragile coffee plants and berries.
