How climate change threatens coffee production | DW Documentary

Climate change could halve the amount of land suitable for coffee production by 2050. In a bid to save one of the world’s most popular drinks, many people are busy experimenting with more resilient coffee varieties and sustainable growing methods.
In Uganda, about 1.8 million smallholders make their living growing coffee. Coffee beans are one of the East African country’s most important exports. But droughts, torrential rain, and pest damage are increasing problems. The most common types of coffee, Arabica and Robusta, are at risk because they need stable temperatures. That’s why Davis Kuloba and other farmers are now pinning their hopes on a wild type of coffee, Liberica, which appears to be more climate-resilient and resistant to pests. However, not everyone is convinced by its taste. There’s still more work to be done to improve how its cultivated and processed.
In the Amazon rainforest in Ecuador, a cooperative is growing coffee under the shade of other trees. This model runs counter to conventional, industrial-scale coffee plantations. It’s hoped that this strategy, known as agroforestry, will help future-proof coffee production. More and more coffee roasting companies in Germany are showing an interest in alternative forms of cultivation. The industry is changing, thanks to the rise of resilient bean varieties, sustainable cultivation, and fairer trade conditions. Coffee - fit for the future.

I grow my own Coffee Arabica here in Zimbabwe - its all naturally grown without any fertilizer, only compost & manure. I get around 2kg of roasted coffee beans per plant per year & I have about 20 trees. More than enough for my neighbors & I!

[@sirThomas95]

Hey! What kind of problems you face while growing the coffee on your own? Are you selling it globally? I would love to hear more :)

[@Callingnone]

Purchased a coffee farm in Colombia post covid as farmers there were desperate to sell as years of low coffee prices had devastated their livelihood. They in turn turned to cheap chemical fertilizers to meet their expenses which in turn scorched the soil with years to get back to normal soil PH level. Many small farm owner’s children are heading to cities as they can’t make enough to even meet costs. Only those staying behind are large farm owners and those who can use the existing coffee farms as a private resort ( which is what I am doing). I have even uprooted a quarter of coffee plants on degraded soil and planted native trees so we can at least increase biodiversity. Coffee as a business is terrible and only suitable for those who have secondary source of income. Oh yes, the evil firm lurking behind to ensure farmers stay poor….Nespresso Aka Nestle. Their sustainable practices and rain forest certification are a joke for the price they pay these gullible farmers.

[@hoangnamnguyen3779]

@@t.e7357 What is your background? And how is your research going?

[@t.e7357]

@sirThomas95 Interestingly, my background is in healthcare, particularly community/public health. I just have an interest in coffee because I come from a region where a lot of people's livelihood depends a lot on coffee. Unfortunately, most of it is sold as the raw product, and few add value to it, like through roasting and properly packaging it. Hence, the farmers earn less than they could potentially earn from it. Also, it is consumed less locally despite its abundance. I believe it's possible to encourage and promote local consumption, especially among young people.

[@0xszander0]

Better coffee agriculture practices are needed for sure. However I think many in the industry overemphasize taste, like these people. Kind of like with alcohol, the majority of people drink coffee for the caffeine hit. For that, the price cannot get too high. (like most people aren't buying expensive whisky's but a cheaper pilsner)I think the majority of people are okay with a lesser tasting coffee as long as it still okay and a bit cheaper. This is why emphasizing on taste won't save coffee in my opinion. Mostly the minority that are really into coffee will enjoy that.

[@ShaneyElderberry]

Although you are correct, it’s also the case that close to 100% of the people who seek specialty coffees from unique roasters are interested in the taste of the coffee. The roasters in the video certainly have patrons who care, and are willing to make regular orders if the flavors appeal to them. Even funky and odd flavors find their patrons.

[@0xszander0]

@@ShaneyElderberry Oh for sure they know how to target their audience. And I think those smaller roasters have a customer base that values sustainability. But we really need to know how the larger industry as a whole is moving to a more sustainable future. That is where the real impact can be made.

Ptaah: 77. The population of Akart however no longer exists since the year 2007, because in the only 32 years from 1975 to 2007 their total population had increased to 34 billion (34,000,000,000), when through their stupidity, like also is apparent with the terrestrial population, nature and the climate were completely destroyed, when, in the end, an oxygen collapse and an atmosphere collapse occurred, as you have described this. 78. As a result all life was wiped out on that planet. Billy_Meier/Contact_Report_476 Ptaah: 39. An oxygen collapse, respectively, an atmospheric collapse, arises as a result of a massive over-impregnation of the atmosphere by the molecule CO2, which enters the atmosphere, as well as the oceans and other bodies of water, as well as the soil of the Earth, and radically alters the climate. 40. An oxygen and atmospheric collapse would be evoked by a massive excess of CO2, which means a bad fate for the entire Earth humanity which would evoke a threatening catastrophe consisting of the destruction of life itself. 41. This is caused by the incessantly growing overpopulation, through which constantly more monstrous amounts of CO2 are produced and, with that, not only the air is impregnated, but actually everything up to the highest heights of the mountains and the deepest depths of the oceans is impregnated. 42. The molecule already exists in dangerous amounts everywhere on the entire Earth and unfolds its dangerousness which does not only express itself in the destructive manner, being climate change, with all the natural catastrophes which more and more take the upper hand, which always demand more and more human lives and cause destruction which cannot again be repaired in a practical amount of time. 43. And actually, all of that is founded singly and alone in the overpopulation of the Earth-humans, who senselessly multiply like noxious vermin and thereby also produce more damaging material of all kinds, and CO2, and thereby impregnate the atmosphere and reduce the oxygen content. 44. This, along with all other destructive machinations like the logging and clearing of the rainforests - the green lungs of the Earth - and, bound to that, the creation of infertile desert areas. 45. Naturally the Earth has always contained the molecule CO2, but the CO2 content has drastically risen through the irrational pushing ahead of the overpopulation which constantly burns more fossil fuels, such as coal, petroleum and gas, principally through the internal combustion engines of road and marine vehicles, work machinery, and aircraft engines, as well as through nonsensical kinds of motor sports. 46. In addition to that is still the enormous overproduction of animals, which are bred as means of nourishment for the humans and which exhale, and release from the colon, horrendous amounts of methane and other gasses. 47. But also, due to the thawing of the permafrost, enormous amounts of all kinds of dangerous gasses are released which enter the air. 48. Further, it is also the Earth human himself who puts CO2 in the air through his exhalation, and indeed already in dangerous amounts, as a result of the monstrous overpopulation. 49. Every year, in this way, the Earth human is to blame that millions of tonnes of dangerous materials are produced, along with other poisons, and are blown into the air, and that increases as the incessantly growing overpopulation increases. 50. And actually today Earth humanity stands on the brink of the serious threat that everything is leading to a collapse, as was the case with Akart. 51. And if a stop, in a rational way, is not finally ordered to the overpopulation then it all increases more and more, and faster, whereby, finally, nothing more can be saved. 52. If, therefore, the CO2 content continues rising unabated, then the catastrophe is no longer avoidable. 53. And a rapid reduction can, singly and alone, only come about through the prevention of overpopulation, because actually only in that way does all the nonsensical production of CO2 also rapidly decrease. 54. But if that is given no heed then the oxygen content and the atmosphere of the Earth would be so overburdened by CO2 that a collapse would unavoidably result. 55. And if the concentration of the molecules climbs in this manner then the respiration of all relevant life-forms on the Earth would be so impaired that it would no longer be possible for them to take up sufficient oxygen. 56. When inhaled, the CO2 concentration already becomes deadly for Earth-humans, and for the other actual oxygen-breathers, when it only amounts to eight percent. Billy_Meier/Contact_Report_481 Ptaah: 91. The overpopulation of the Earth-humans and their machinations produce more and more dangerous substances which are released into the nature and the atmosphere, causing enormous changes which are also reflected in the density and formation of the clouds. 92. All the dirt produced by overpopulation and released into the atmosphere as aerosols from the Earth, together with space dust and cosmic radiation, are the factors responsible for cloud depletion. 93. Depending on the intensity of the sun, which forms a stronger or weaker protective shield for cosmic rays, the intensity of cosmic rays that reach the terrestrial spheres where clouds form also changes. 94. However, it is not only the Sun but also the Earth's magnetic field that is of great importance, because depending on its strength more or less cosmic rays penetrate the Earth's atmosphere. 95. And for a century now, the intensity of the Sun's and the Earth's magnetic field has been very strong, so less cosmic rays penetrate the Earth, thus thinning the clouds. 96. So along with the actual cosmic rays, the Sun is also a decisive factor that must be taken into account in relation to the greenhouse effect, but this does not detract from the fact that the main factor is all the dirt, carbon dioxide and toxic gases, etc. that are thrown into the atmosphere by Earth-humans. 97. And the greater the mass of overpopulation becomes, the more all these destructive substances are released into nature and into the atmosphere, etc. and cause tremendous changes. 98. The clouds are being supersaturated with aerosols from the Earth, causing enormous masses of water vapour to bind to them as raindrops or ice, which then fall down to the Earth in floods and cascades. 99. And the fact that this results in violent reactions in nature, which lead to elemental storms, which bring real floods or ice storms and hailstorms, rests in the law of nature, when the clouds are inevitably emptied. 100. The whole thing also leads to a clearing of the clouds by emptying the clouds, which means that they become thinner, allowing more solar radiation to penetrate the Earth and, together with all the irresponsible, destructive machinations caused by Earth-humans with regard to Earth, nature, life-forms and climate influence, this causes the greenhouse effect. 101. So, in principle, more and more constant clouds would have to hover over the Earth, which is normally regulated and kept in balance by cosmic rays, which would allow less solar radiation to penetrate and avoid a greenhouse effect, but could also be cooler. 102. If not for all the dirt from the Earth that enters the atmosphere and forces the clouds to open their floodgates to real floods and ice storms and hailstorms and cause tremendous storms, the clouds could normalise together with the cosmic rays, thus allowing more clouds to enter and reduce solar radiation and the greenhouse effect. 103. This, however, would be a lengthy process over a very long period of time, which would also require, first and foremost, that overpopulation be drastically reduced by a worldwide and far-reaching birth regulation.

Americans wont be affected as they don't drink real coffee

[@douglasmencia3027]

This documentary just predicted that by 2050 half of the world’s coffee belt production regions will be depleted, meaning in 2050 will have only 50% of today’s coffee production. This is an appalling yet laughable prediction, where do you guys get this numbers and analysis? DW please elaborate on this one, how half the equatorial regions will stop producing coffee? And by the way in a few decades Liberica will be on the same spot that Robusta coffee is now after over exploitation and mono-cultivation.

They make it up out of thin air. Climate change is Politics.

Producing coffee in many areas will become economically not viable: it will become too expensive to produce, because with climate change yields will decrease. Many farmers with coffee plantations will give up and switch to other plants that are easier to grow in their areas and new climate. Other areas may become more suitable for coffee, but there are no cofee plants growing there yet, and it takes many years and much investment to start a coffee growing plantation. 50% is a rough estimate - you can calculate your own numbers, if you feel like it.
