Projected shifts in coffee production and sustainability due to climate changes
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/145173
Abstract
Climate change has emerged as a key concern for coffee production. An ever-growing body of research demonstrates potential impacts at all scales from plant to sector. We show that the literature for the most part frames climate change as a geospatial phenomenon. Global and regional projections robustly show an overall reduction in potential area climatically suitable for coffee, with shifts towards higher…
