The warming climate and extreme weather are responsible for reduced coffee production, which, in turn, also impacts the quality of coffee beans. Sourcing experts say that climate change was partly responsible for the global surge in coffee prices in 2024, which has adversely affected smallholder coffee farms.<\/p>\n<p>By 2050, there may be less suitable land for growing coffee. However, farming cooperatives in major coffee-producing countries are fighting back, supported by conscious consumers. \u201cEvery year, the rains start later, and the average temperature is higher,\u201d warns Silvia Herrera, a coffee farmer in Chiapas, Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>Elders in her farming community say that it was much easier to grow coffee 25 years ago, Herrera tells Euronews Green. Meanwhile in Colombia, Fairtrade coffee farmer Jaime Alberto Garc\u00eda Fl\u00f3rez has seen temperatures rise so much in recent decades that lower parts of his land have become too hot for growing coffee. He has been forced to replace coffee bushes with cocoa instead.<\/p>\n<p>With changing rainfall and weather patterns, farmers are all too aware that an entire harvest can be lost overnight. And by 2050, 50 per cent of the global surface area currently used for coffee farming may no longer be suitable, according to a study from the Zurich University of Applied Sciences. While this is devastating for farmers\u2019 livelihoods, it also affects the millions of Europeans who enjoy a morning cup of coffee. \u201cIf coffee isn\u2019t sustainable for farmers, there won\u2019t be coffee to taste,\u201d Herrera concedes.<\/p>\n<p>Coffee is especially vulnerable to climate change as it&#8217;s a \u201cvery temperature-sensitive crop\u201d, explains Max Milward, Fairtrade Foundation\u2019s sustainable sourcing manager for coffee.He adds that not only does \u201cmore extreme and unpredictable weather cause more pests and faster-spreading diseases\u201d but that it\u2019s \u201cdeepening poverty and inequality\u201d and \u201cthreatens farmers\u2019 ability to farm in the future\u201d. In 2024, the global coffee market experienced a significant surge in prices, caused in large part by adverse weather in several coffee-producing countries.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2024\/12\/31\/with-fairtrade-we-have-a-choice-how-smallholder-coffee-farmers-are-navigating-climate-chan\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2024\/12\/31\/with-fairtrade-we-have-a-choice-how-smallholder-coffee-farmers-are-navigating-climate-chan\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/with-fairtrade-we-have-a-choice-how-smallholder-coffee-farmers-are-navigating-climate-change\/\">\u2018With Fairtrade we have a choice\u2019: How smallholder coffee farmers are navigating climate change<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[462,4650,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-136279","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-climate-change","tag-coffee","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136279","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136279"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136279\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136279"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136279"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136279"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
