In a world that consumes 1.5 billion cups of coffee a day, half of the arable land for coffee production will disappear by 2050.

Half the coffee belt will disappear?

The most popular beverage crop in the world can not grow everywhere. On the contrary, the growing area of coffee trees is very limited.

Climate is the decisive factor in coffee cultivation, and coffee trees are only suitable for growing in the tropics or subtropics. The zone between latitude 25 degrees north and south is the most suitable for growing coffee. And this coffee production zone is generally called "coffee belt" or "coffee area".

As the temperature increases, coffee trees will be forced to move to higher elevations and latitudes. This means that in limited space, coffee trees will have to compete with other crops. More unpredictable climate change and more extreme weather, such as droughts, floods and hail, will also threaten the survival of the world's most economically valuable tropical crop. Fortunately, scientists are launching a campaign to save coffee, and they are trying to introduce good genes into it to make it more adaptable to climate change so that it will not be wiped out.

It's hard to imagine what it would be like without this rich, bitter black liquid in a world that consumes 1.5 billion cups of coffee a day.

But it is not impossible for such a world without coffee to become a reality. Scientists tell us that half of the arable land needed to produce coffee will disappear by 2050. Arabica, the world's most consumed coffee variety, will be extinct in the wild by 2080. This means a decline in the quality and production of coffee worldwide, while coffee trees are suffering from diseases and insect pests. Yes, the chief culprit of all this is climate warming again.
