COMMUNITY COFFEE · 18 November

Can we secure the coffee of the future?

Aske Skovmand Bosselmann — Associate Professor at the University of Copenhagen, Department of Food and Resource Economics

Coffee is one of the world's most traded commodities -- and one of the crops already feeling climate change most clearly. More drought, more rain and higher temperatures are challenging the growing conditions of coffee and changing the landscapes where it has been grown for generations. But the story isn't just about climate change. It is also about people developing new cultivation methods, strengthening biodiversity, working with regenerative agriculture and researching more robust coffee plants. The coffee of the future is shaped not only by the climate, but also by the choices made throughout the value chain — from the coffee farm to the coffee cup.

Meet Aske Skovman Bosselmann, who offers a fascinating insight into how research, nature and new forms of cultivation can help secure the coffee of the future — and why a cup of coffee can tell us far more about climate change than most of us think. *
