8:34 pm
some 100000 tech tears a year worldwide. that's because harvesting machines are more easily deployed in large fields, were nothing else grows except coffee. they replace the work of hundreds of pictures. but mano cultures require an enormous amount of fertilizer. and that damages the environment. deforestation like and brazil also releases huge amount of c o 2 in the hot sun. the coffee plants also cannot survive without irrigation. and that too has an enormous impact on natural resources. one cup of coffee alone requires an average of some 130 liters of water. that's nearly a whole ton and 80 grams of harmful greenhouse gases, or emitted into the atmosphere per come. the equivalent of driving have a kilometer by car here by the rio napoli in northern ecuador,

indigenous coffee growers work in a completely different way, including us government for an okay, the difference when you walk in here already feels milder. and really i meant to say that as well as pleasant courses, so it's a big difference on the humidity's shame i see on the defensive to buy when as the cultivation methods used by the indigenous q to a community are held worldwide as a shining example of agro forestry, the trees provide the coffee plants with shade, well preserving bio diversity, the alternative to big mano culture is the same for the most. we always worked with the trees here. second order for itself. we called the system chopper, is traditional arrow forestry. if any of the trees help the pine nutrients to the soil, which other plants absorb the name of your products you, they produce more fruit that way. but also to, for us, it's important to have trees one additional plants and other plants that we can eat
8:36 pm
. like the coffee plants fried in every few shade of other trees, the air is cooler and the swell, more moist, banana plants or cuts. how trees provide shade, for example, and an additional income stream. a certain combination of plants also makes for a more nutrient rich soil, which benefits the coffee plants. that way they need less fertilizer, little irrigation, and or less vulnerable to pass. plus a healthy forest stores a lot of c o 2 and preserves bio diversity. becky motor, it's like a cell phone book. there's a very t palm growing back there. i think it was last almost here. we have full century especially my that out of the but a full so would, can be used to construction and for furniture. it's good wood, isn't the leg use which also right. you tree the way i know what to think of and
8:37 pm
there are more plants, the cheese back land even more just especially as us the community jointly owns some 40000 heck tears. one half a cultivate, the other half remains untouched. green forest, thanks to some 60 different crops they grow. the people here are largely self sufficient and for a goose to sell those out. it's a way of marrying the past with the future. so there's 2, let's say you are going to be forgetting this. how am i supposed to bring humans a negative into harmony with one another? the same themes for us out of each entry has a life, a spirit, the indigenous people, so full to ensure the right to nature. the quick window has become a pioneer in nature conservation. 2 in 2008, ecuador became the 1st country in the world. to recognize the rights of nature and its constitution. that meant for example,

halting plans to expand gold and copper mining. but nature conservation is most successful when people's livelihoods are secured. andrea felton is doing his part with his socially minded enterprise. the one cafe in the berlin district of charlotte board has something special to offer here. coffee sense, like so, fee for the booth and can live out there caution. and she's not the only one who wants to learn something from francis pod slash utah. does it have to be 50 now? to be exact? the coffee kind of sarah runs a co roasting space where he's chairs, his roasting machines and know how, with people new to the coffee business, like sophie from move. and she's not just a coffee lover, but a researcher and an entrepreneur
8:39 pm
need my son, my research. i run a small coffee business as a whole. be really just to see what's out there. is there any demand? how does it taste? and above all, to raise awareness about policy and climate change on the health plan. it's become very popular for people to roast their own b. but across the industry, many are concerned about how climate changes impacting coffee cultivation logging because i'm worried that there might be no cost me one day saying that's why i'm passionate about supporting every project that comes to us. this will cost me that's produced sustainably, and transparently gets solar in germany. i've often thought you might come to sophie fun. lou then is experimenting with varieties of coffee that can cope with climb matic extremes. one in uganda is showing potential to credit and they finally can only advise to thomas to produce it. when we know there's a market, we can't just tell them to switch to days and no one will ultimately want it.
8:40 pm
that's why taste is so important and considering how we can improve it. but most of the a number there is macbooks coffee that which stands difficult climatic conditions and tastes good. that's recall, different varieties are tasted and compared at copying events. coffee had hundreds and hundreds of aromas twice as many in fact as wine. which coffee do you find most exciting? from the 1st smell, i'd probably the same number a chain. i didn't know. let's see. it must be, but the nozzle comes to me when you smell it. so there's a certain sweetness including this in the background type, a barrier on my to be more types, types of business. but ultimately, eclipse is the 1st impression on. i got them into fixing the though didn't ask man, okay. so what do you taste 1st and ask me, publish mix that sound?
8:41 pm
yeah, it's not the same, right? yeah. some lesser known types of coffee beans could have what it takes with a little bit more experimentation. some of them could really sell the sofa, live and works as an agricultural economist at the puts stump institute for climate impact research in germany. she examines how climate change is putting the livelihoods of millions of farmers and their families at risk and coffee growing regions. coffee plays a big role in her life covers because she is a part of my life in many different ways of lives as the big coffee law. my friends, an awful lot of it's coffee plus i reset coffee because this practically no other plan. so clearly tells the story of the impact of climate change on agriculture and the global sound. the last or something provides you can demonstrate why we need to
8:42 pm
adapt. i will culture in these regions, hassle and we o somehow have an emotional relationship to coffee. and when we hear that our favorite drink is running low, then we will listen ops good. thank not foot 100 and the other him which coffee plans are best suited to with stand climate change? the agricultural economist is trying to find an answer to this question with david, be got a and so feel by 2 shots in uganda in east africa. but here we have a definite difference in the elevation. yep. and the other 2 that we're looking at . so even though the close, the over the logical zone is probably not comparable. yeah, as we can see here on the map. so this is the climate change will negatively impact coffee production in uganda on task. so the approach is need to adapt accordingly. shifting of a form, what with now looking at to now research is with a little bit the type of coffee that also comes from uganda and is increasingly being cultivation by assignments to be an option for adapting to climate change on
8:43 pm
a large scale and uganda, i think the problem is that the 2 most common types of coffee a robbie, kind of and robust us only grow in the so called coffee built. they need a stable tropical climate to grow by 2050 climate change threatens to make half of those regions on suitable for cultivation. this is not going to as the fix to and fulfilled gene costs. but also on the 60 months, the hard because a some because of the increasing demand for coffee versus the c w 2 doses that are predicted in the future, people might be forced to step groans, go see now, according to cutting a frag dude. areas, for example, predicted areas would like predicted areas and forests, which is not equal to each kind of good to avoid that from happening. how can
8:44 pm
existing plantations be saved? america, a re discovered wild coffee variety could be part of the answer. it appears to be more resilience to drowned in pest infestation, but this is no quick fix neu, a coffee, introducing a new types of coffee to the global market is definitely a long term project. i'm just going to about the systemic chain, which we didn't name on time because it's not legal because the coffee plant is a tree and sometimes it's high. so it takes a little while to get from a planting to the 1st time that i'll call to establish and on the will market. it happens. don't often bank knocked under comment us to make headway with a project in uganda. the researchers are gathering knowledge on the ground, the in south america. ecuador is also part of the tropical coffee belt temper based in
8:45 pm
puerto andrea spells and regularly visits his business partners. this coffee cooperative recently invested in these drying beds, the same with the wash, the coffee twice. and that seems to me for i'd say 5 of them. the hope is new, and thanks, wonderful. cemented with the pulse is still attached to the coffee becomes much oh, i see the come on. so what to say is it shouldn't be to the end of the see the buyers are prepared to pay more for high quality coffee. when it caters to different taste. the collaboration between the pair has more than doubled. the income of the coffee farmers here is we can eventually it is up until the timing of the year can get in and circulate quite well. that's of these next. beneath the coffee are made of plastic coffee dry, slowly, evenly here. this is, this is about the most modern system we can imagine haven't come,
8:46 pm
it doesn't run on which is it to your gas off. it's nice and slow on this slow drying process. it means that the company not only arrives at our plant and very good quality, but it also retains its quality for longer or in contrast to other producers. the coffee cooperative doesn't have to show that the risks of such investments alone fails and pays in advance. 6 months before the harvest, this was a good year. you'll receive over 14 tons or $210.00 sucks. are those say we already have 12243646 when we moved and another 4050 or drying fee is that me from? i'm from confident i fell in love with this type of coffee cultivation and structure from the very startling is completely in line with my ideals of democracy and sustainability. the for that, it's a great joy for me to try to act as a mouthpiece for them. and as a facilitator for their ideas, and with the help of the coffee they grow to can be them in germany. and so for, we're bringing the coffee and we're getting coffee. and germany is the 2nd largest
8:47 pm
coffee in porter in the world fills in the shipment. is destined for hamburg. the port city profited from colonialism and it remains an important trading hub for coffee beans today. fells a name to his coffee roasting company after don quixote. the knight who fought windmills. these types of ideas traditionally and asked the colonial product or with every negative connotation imaginable is their child labor exploitation or other prices, but in no way do justice to the work involved in growing complicated to us. we need a different approach image. but let's move on to another. i mean, typically just 10 percent of the profit stays in the country where the coffee was grown. the rest is swallowed up by transport, wholesalers, and production companies, nestle, especially global market prices fluctuate greatly. the minimum price fair trade sets per pound of washed erotica, coffee beans is $1.80. according to fair trade,
8:48 pm
the price would have to be significantly higher to actually secure people's livelihoods improved. for example, it would have to be $2.50 per pound. andrea sales and pays about $3.50 and his business is still doing well. business the drum is started r o creatures grew and on average by 10 tons a year, i mean the rising demand 20 years and the demand always be much bigger than our production capacity enough. so it's one thing couple that will ever be able to meet the demand, don't come up with our direct trade and our transparency policies. i'm talking to sure this is not somebody's idea. what's the reason? is it tons of offensive amount? it was. so it was important for us to function commercially needs to be economically successful. so continue and just to show what kind of design and uganda sophie fund live in is on the road with tony mcgrew young, the head of a coffee farmers alliance to find out more about the repair. it could be the one thing that i would like to catch somebody that again is
8:49 pm
actually 70 percent of the firm. i've said that one of the reasons they're growing love. erica is because of the higher yields. yes. there's a difference between you and the 4th to insure and tony will go. yeah, comes from a coffee, growing family himself. he built up the you going to a coffee farmers alliance today he's, it's director. he's showing the agricultural economist around and answering her questions. and i think one thing i'm also really interested now about understand a little bit more about the 2 types of that. erica, maybe if you could actually show us the threes. so you're welcome to this. you might as well because this one is already there. i'm trying to dry his fluffy on the top all it was is recommended there visiting dave is cool over a coffee farmer with a lot of experience, which we'll see is this what near dry,
8:50 pm
which type of the over the past years he's been experimenting with growing the unusual coffee plant that the german researcher is so passionate about. uh huh. okay. and the listing of we also know about the cookies, around cheese that are really very promising in terms of resistance to draw social how they've changed black. i believe about that. just not yet being actively cultivated, commercially set on the better because we can see his own rigging being cultivated . and therefore, it's a relatively promising and easy avenue to introduce this new type of hosting to the global market and get it and widely distribution and invest marked unfulfilling off the top of that. so can you please one reason the alternatives are so sought after can be seen right here. the popular robust is increasingly being attacked by past due to big changes in the climate thing bought out on this side of this. and
8:51 pm
although busta ok, so one of this i have those 3 florida is you see colors one on one side of the the young's to barracka is already being blended with other types of coffee and sales are increasing for the farmer. this means he can continue to pay the school fees for his 8 children with the other on the state office and diseases most a thank you. i've seen a profile of money today that was stamped, i was prone david. anything but you see now to the, the broker trick brought up being so who is this? why not list the spit icon stuff? i but it was those when we visited to mike outputs for today's as what i'm gonna do, i get the benefit of this one. so he funded and, and her team want to document and substantiate the farmer's experiences in a project that will run over several years. so they're comparing 800 farms that
8:52 pm
grow different types of coffee plants in terms of however, there are good reasons why the resilience li, jericho has not yet prevailed. you know, so he submitted his k using the extra. yeah, if it would be possible over the phone with the cream them to decides here like that because i started down on the set top, just the hutch. would it be that lucky in for an actual yeah, that one for these as much more done this one now. so if i'm older, if i'm getting going was yes i'd ask you submit a claim. what did i done having list production before? they suspect that it's precisely this big, long trunk that protects the america from drought and heat god. this looks very dangerous. harvesting in the tree tops is quite the challenge. i have to. now if i want to and also the other sites, i also come here. so i like the title, diesel. you know, so for each yes close to me. they could this and i type
8:53 pm
the you going to coffee farmers alliance wants to organize financial support for the american farmers to compensate for the strenuous harvest. we'll go. yeah. is campaigning for this because he sees the wild coffee plant as a glimmer of hope for the whole country. so coffee, 0 gun as leading agricultural exports, commodity. and we think that the bank of coffee gives us an opportunity to continue exporting coffee in the long term, and also to provide a variety of coffee through the i, because robust as i now live. but it comes to supporting courageous farmers like davis cordova is just the beginning for the you've gone to a coffee farm is the lions the next day, tony magnolia invites the german researcher to a new factory. the machine cleans the coffee to prepare it for export. so we have, uh we have a small the store and i have which most any phones,
8:54 pm
if the best one escaped? yes. yeah. and then uh, we also have monuments below there. they're investing in the processing of coffee beans so that more money stays in the country. we're going as aligns brings tangible benefits to its members, such as more favorable conditions for bank loans. so, so good for farmers because they are able to benefit from the additional value that you get through meaningful grading through exports. every stage has an increase in price that goes back to the firm. so this is a follow a decent opportunity for from us. what on this structure that they're testing, whether it be barracka beans can be processed in the same way, is more common varieties. if so, they wouldn't have to invest in new machines and even erica could be brought to market more quickly. does this variety offer hope for the future of coffee a see to go out as well. the zip the coffee can be processed using the same machine
8:55 pm
. it is robust of coffee and also school. and that's good then, because if the psalm is grow the coffee to the highest standard and then it's process to, to the highest standard. yeah. then there's a good chance that the end product will be high quality coffee. sit tight, so it's good. the actual calls come to l. schmidt and donovan shots, and they will and you gone to the future of coffee has already begun with our research. the agricultural economist from pottstown wants to help ensure the success of lead barracka them. and i'm coming out planned to coffee trade. you want to get this to have a stock through about 3 to 5 years. and capital petri is have listed for an average and says he's thing are also nathan loan, good. that means that the coffee that we plant today is the coffee will be drinking in 2050, perhaps beyond that. and that's a time when we already have very frightening climate predictions. that's why it's
8:56 pm
so important to react. now the people here want to keep their jobs, the country, it's exports, and coffee sense, their coverage, you know, the sustainable coffee from the ecuadorian cooperative has arrived in germany, in puerto andreas pals and is delivering it personally from ecuador. fantastic. let's put it down here. to fairness is a central tenet of this small rose tree in luna block also guaranteed by address thousands direct imports. the oven near collection is committed to practicing what he preaches. everyone earns the same and is involved in managing the business. the. the roasting process produces the desired aroma. what can you know exactly the smell?
8:57 pm
we're after that. so in the early stage of each, him dark express. so i smell count on the lines, not as a piece of ice. the room is a kind of a lie, is ation increases, the coffee smells less than less sweeten, 14 more picture, multi carmel put coffee, and the reality of how it's produced can lead the bitter aftertaste. almost half of all small holder coffee farmers live in poverty itself. over in 5, the really hope that something will fundamentally change in the cost of the market . um yeah, because there are still very few direct coffee importers like you whole thing, for example, i'll skip this far to see you a really good fit. sylvania, i'm andrea spells and has already health. it doesn't mean groceries get off the ground with his company k, hold to coffee. the pioneer is more than happy to share his expertise based a shift for me to have an approach to coffee that allows me to look at myself in
8:58 pm
the mirror and then i can do that and i've worked in this industry for 13 years on all from finally, call her to my work every day and i to make this possible in the future. we need to work in a very idealistic way and replace. the idea of this is all about the industry is changing resilience, coffee varieties sustainable cultivation and fair trade conditions. that's what will help safeguard the future of coffee. the a drama specialist offer team. so makers are becoming more innovative. you see this welcoming everything by
