Can scientists develop a coffee bean more resistant to climate change? | FT Food Revolution
Financial Times 
One of world’s favourite drinks is under threat from global warming. The world’s top coffee producing nations all lie at similar tropical latitudes, where even small rises in temperature are forecast to have severe consequences for people and agriculture. But as the FT’s Nic Fildes reports, in Australia, scientists are tackling the problem by trying to develop a better, hardier coffee bean.

God I hope so. The thought keeps me awake at night. Sorry for the cheek, I had a momentary weak spell and my comment was disrespectful. I've been reading messages from Ukraine.

Western companies have been screwing up poor farmers for far too long. I say fair trade.
Please get rid of the music in the background
Interesting vid…but it can’t help remind me of the scene in the movie Flying High when the air stewardess informs the passengers that there is no coffee & then the whole cabin erupts in a furore & then outright panic 😅
Just so y'all know, we could've solved world hunger, but no. We're instead going to modify coffee, if that doesn't say a lot of who takes decisions in the world, I don't know what will
"Food engineering" can produce animal-free eggs and meats, soon we can have bean-free coffee ☕ooh! 😲 https://youtu.be/6-ws1xqGQV0
Genetic Modification GM succeeded in splicing many varieties of Corn making it more disease resistance and productive, like all GM it has to pass Consumer, marketing and critics tests. Cellular and Hydroponics Agricultures are two upcoming modern invention to feed growing population in Climate Change environment where ESG placed a higher bar on production. GM Coffee will succeed where One Bean will satisfy critics tastes.
Science: we nees to take steps to curb climate change before it's too late.
World: lol no. You "experts" don't know what you're talking about.
…
World: hey science, could you at least save our coffee please?
It's easy!
It's called ""tea"
U got contexted
The climate changes all the time. Plants adjust by nature. The problem is that the area these people are farming the coffee beans is no longer the best place and OTHER people and countries have the best place for them now. Maybe Colombia will no longer be the coffee capital, but somewhere else will be. These people are made that nature had ruined their golden goose.
edited to correct spelling of Colombia.
I suppose that would mean something if Global Warming were real cocksuckers.
If they start to mess with the coffee beans then good buy the good taste coffee
in indonesia. we plant coffee inside the forest along with different variety of trees not mono culture. clearly more sustainable to climate change.
That tropic of cancer and Capricorn lines are quite misplaced.
The tropic of Capricorn for example cuts through São Paulo 800km North of its position in the graphic, where it's going through Porto Alegre

📐 Coffee is something everyone is constantly striving to improve
And the prices are so low for luxury goods imports from far afield continents
OMG…. Stay.Away.From my coffee!
Well, there is already a bean resistant to climate change. It is the Robusta lol
We're all addicts
Stop all GMOs!
And not to be touched there after, imperialists just mess everything
Don't worry guys in Somalia now we discover coffee plant that are growing in the jungle and it can survive 38 degrees and little rain with two seasons and it can defeat any hash drought good news to the wolrd
