How Climate Change is Impacting the Future of Coffee
According to a new study by researchers at the University of California, coffee may be the key to fighting climate change. The study found that coffee farms can actually help mitigate climate change, as they act as a carbon sink, storing more carbon dioxide than they emit. In other words, coffee farms actually help reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This is a promising finding, as coffee farming accounts for 7% of global emissions from agriculture. The study also found that coffee farms can play a role in helping to conserve biodiversity, a key factor in fighting climate change. In addition, the researchers found that coffee farms can help reduce water usage and air pollution.
