as we say there about never getting up every weekend on d w. the coffee is among the most popular beverages in the world, but climate change is threatening its production soon. growing coffee won't be economically viable, etc. price is a new way to adjust it to the work involved in growing coffee. we need a different approach to guns, and that's what i mean. how kind of livelihoods, of millions of coffee farmers be saved. and with our cup of chino and a suppressed though, to the

equator, was rain forest by the real napoli. this man is on a business trip, but he's not, you're a stereo. typical business man. andrea sells and is concerned about people not just the bottom line. it's important to him to get to know his coffee growers tests and vs. why don't we team with one of our 2 partners here in the regents and the amazon little and see if is what we visit these courses regular like twice a year. and that's, that's necessary to build trust and maintain the relationship with them. excuse me . as you can imagine, the people here have been taking advantage of like white people for the last 500 years. and because of that there was 0 trust at 1st. the same, especially as my conference call next, se,

as shelton got involved in the industry 30 years ago with a handful of like minded people. they wanted to change the coffee world. they were happy to pay more for the beans, spend the low wages that were standard more. in fact, in the fair trade companies that already existed back then, their idea was to import directly from the producers cutting out the middleman. the, the, the english guy just always get together with his colleagues in austin doors. the pioneer is visiting the coffee cooperative via cory green gold in the kitchen. one language, high ranking members of the indigenous community are there to welcome the 2 germans . 120 small holders have joined forces to explore new ways of doing business. the initiative was set up by a ghost of some of the. let's get some of those intermediaries,

each the middle mandated profit, the motorcycle. that's why small producer, smaller accounts banded together to be strongly the equipment, to be able to guarantee consistent all of that. and you literally the level of assume, like the they are worried about a new b u regulation that only allows imports of products such as coffee that have not involved any deforestation since december 2020, the kitchen. i take no part in disruptive practices like forest clearing, but how can they prove that a topic of discussion with their german partners the units in the past as well as like that because that doesn't trust us producers of august before it's awesome. they is called the photos indeed, yet the indigenous peoples guarantee a sustainable environmentally friendly cultivation. the you regulations are intended to stamp out practices that were common and re some decades. forests were

frequently cleared to make way for coffee plantations, some 100000 heck terrace a year worldwide. that's because harvesting machines are more easily deployed in large fields, where 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, what's the difference when you walk in here already feels milder. and really i meant to say that 12 and a half pleasant process hoops of being different and the humidity's shame i see on the defensive super, when as the cultivation methods used by the indigenous cue to a community or hailed a 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 cultures. and the simpler, but how much we always work with the trees here. second order for itself, we call the system chalk, right? it's traditional arrow forestry, depending if i get a lot of trees help the pine nutrients to the soil, which other plants absorb a name on 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 plans that we can eat. like the coffee plant tried, remember the shade of other trees, the air is cooler and the soil, 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 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 treat the remote plots, the cheese back lab, and he, even with us, especially as us the community jointly owned some 40000 tech 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 looking for this. how am i supposed to bring humans a negative into harmony with one another? the same thing was for us out of each entry has a life, a spirit, lieutenant police, indigenous peoples of fault to ensure the right to nature. the quick window has become a plan here in nature conservation. 2, in 2008, ecuador became the 1st country in the world to recognize the rights of nature in

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 fif lou then 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 shares his roasting machines and know how with people new to the coffee business like so, fee from living? she's not just a coffee lover, but

a researcher and an entrepreneur 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 is but across the industry, many are concerned about how climate changes impacting coffee cultivation logging because i'm worried that there might be no coffee in one day saying that's why i'm passionate about supporting every project that comes to us. so costly that's produced sustainably and transparently it gets sold in germany. i've often thought you might come to sophie fund lou then is experimenting with varieties of coffee that can cope with climatic extremes. one in uganda is showing potential to credit and then 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 it isn't, no one will ultimately want it that's. that's why taste is so important. and considering how we can improve it, but most of the, remember there is macbooks coffee that with 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 a rome is twice as many in fact as wines which coffee do you find most exciting from the 1st smell? i'd probably the same number a shame. i don't even 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 burial aroma to be more exact science of business. but ultimately, eclipse is the 1st impression when i got them into effect. didn't ask mind, okay,

so what do you taste 1st and ask me, publish makes that sound. 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 post of 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 happens because she is a part of my life in many different ways. i might as the big coffee lot my friends, an awful lot of it's coffee plus i research coffee because there's practically no other plan. so clearly tells the story of the inside of climate change on

agriculture and the global sound. do not have something provides, you can demonstrate why we need to adapt. i will culture in these regions how long and, and we somehow have an emotional relationship to coffee. and when we hear that our favorite drink is running low, then we will listen ok. thank not foot them down and the out of 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. yeah. and the altitude 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 climate change will negatively impact coffee production in uganda on task. so the approach is need to adapt to coordinate system of, of what we're now looking at to now researches with a little bit type of coffee that also comes from uganda and is increasingly being

cultivation by farmers. that would be an option for adapting to climate change on a large scale. and uganda. the problem is that the 2 most common types of coffee a robbie kinda and robust us only grow in the so called coffee belt. they need a stable tropical climate to grow by 2050 climate change threatens to make half of those regions unsuitable for cultivation. this is not going to as the fix to and fulfilled gene cards. but also on the, it was, his team was the hard because 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, golfing, including cutting a for a given areas. for example, predicted areas would like predicted areas and forests, which is not equal each kind of good to avoid that from happening. how can

existing plantations be saved? rebecca re discovered wild coffee variety could be part of the answer. it appears to be more resilient to drowned and pest infestation, but this is no quick fix noise coffee. introducing a new types of coffee to the global market is definitely a long term project team. we talked about the systemic chain, which we didn't name on time because it's not a home because the coffee plant is a tree of defense high. so it takes a little while to get from a planting to the 1st time and the fall to establishing on the will market. it happens you're often back knocked under comment us to make headway with the project . in uganda, the researchers are gathering knowledge on the ground, the in south america. ecuador is also part of the tropical coffee belt,

tempered based in 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 see what it means. let's say 5 to 4000000 still in the hope is new, and thanks, wonderful. cemented with the pulse of the times you the coffee becomes smaller truck. oh, i see the come on. so what i have to say is it shouldn't be too, it's sort of the end of 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 a coffee. farmers here is a can eventually it is up until the beginning of the year can get in and circulate quite well. that's of these. next we need the coffee are made of plastic and for

the coffee dry slowly even we hear. so this is, this is about the most modern system we can imagine having come, it doesn't run on that would cause it to your gas off. it's nice and slow on this slow drying process. it means that the coffee normally arrives that are plants and very good quality, so that 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. so those say we already have 12243646 when we moved and another $4050.00 are drying, and the 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 before that, it's a great joy for me to try to act as a most piece for them. and as a facilitator for their ideas. and with the help of the coffee they grew to can be

them in germany for we're bringing the coffee and we're getting coffee. and germany is the 2nd largest coffee in porter in the world. fellows 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. coffee is tod, it's not to be as traditionally on an ascii, colonial product or with every negative connotation. imaginable is their child labor exploitation which on 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. naturally, 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, 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. there isn't a drama to start r o creatures growing on average by 10 tons a year. i mean, the rising demand isn't but demand on always being much bigger than our production capacity enough. so it's understandable that will ever be able to meet the demand. don't come up with our direct trade and are trans honestly, policies of talking to show this is not somebody's idea. what's the reason? is it constantly and so the moment it was, so it was important for us to function commercially. it has to be economically successful. supports in you and just as a flight connect design in uganda sophie fund lou then 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

actually 70 percent of the pharma said that one of the reasons they're growing love . erica is because of the higher you is. there's a difference between you and the 4th to insure and tony magnolia 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. eric, or maybe if you could actually show us as a treat. so you're welcome to this you might as well because this your mind is already there trying to dry his coffee or made tough while it was recommended there

visiting davis, who was over a coffee farmer with a lot of experience, which both is this, what new address 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. give us an off. 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. but he bit about that just not yet being actively cultivated, commercially set on the better because we can see his own reading being cultivated . and therefore it's a relatively promising and easy a avenue to introduce this new type of hosting to the global market. and guess in widely distribution and invest marked as a few on and off the top of yes. okay. 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 although busta ok, so one of this i have those 3 bought out 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 style, pests, 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 the, the, the broker trick brought up speak. so who is this? why not list the spit icons stuff like, but it was those when we visited myself, which support our lives as what that look like if the benefit of this one. so we funded and, and her team want to document and substantiate the farmers experiences in

a project that will run over several years. are there comparing 800 farms that grow different types of coffee plants? however, there are good reasons why the resilience leave. erica has not yet prevailed, you know, so it's very scary using the extra. yeah. if you to what would the person go over to follow the cream them to decides here, like that you've got a standing down on the set top, just the hutch would be good. lucky in for adoption, the other one for these as much more done. okay. and this one now, so if i'm older, if i'm getting going was yes i submit a claim. what did i get done? having this production before? they suspect that it's precisely this big, long trunk that protects america from drought and heat god. this looks very dangerous harvesting and the tree tops is quite the challenge. i help people now if i wonder also the other sites i also come here. so i title diesel

you know, so for each yes close to me. they could this and i type the you going to coffee farmers alliance wants to organize financial support for the american farmers to compensate for the strenuous harvest. magnolia is campaigning for this because he sees the wild coffee planned as a glimmer of hope for the whole country. so coffee is the brand as leading agricultural exports, commodity. and we think that the base of coffee gives us an opportunity to continue exporting coffee in the long term and also to provide a variety of coffees to the are because robust as a nobody cards supporting courageous farmers like davis, cordova is just the beginning for the you gone to coffee farmers alliance. the next day, tony mongolia 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 distort on here, which most any phones, if the best one escaped. yes, yeah. and then, uh, we also have my mazda mentioned below there. they're investing in the processing of coffee beans, so that more money stays in the country. going as a lions 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 that increase in price that it goes back to the firm. so this is a fairly decent opportunity for from us. what on the structure that they're testing, whether the 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 or that 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 labelle coffee can be processed using the same machines as a robust of coffee and also school. and that's good then because if the firm 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 to be actual calls. come down. schmidt and donovan short, so they will and you gone to the future of coffee has already begun with a research. the agricultural economist from pottstown wants to help ensure the success of lead barracka them. and i'm coming to plant a coffee tree. you want to get this to have a stock for about 3 to 5 years. and capital coffee tree is harvested for an average and says he's saying i 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 the time when we already have very frightening

climate predictions. that's why it's so important to react. now the people here want to keep their jobs, the country, it's exports, and coffee fans, their coverage. you know, the sustainable coffee from the ecuadorian cooperative has arrived in germany. in puerto, andrea spells in 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 new york. 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 we're after? so in the early stage of the medium, dark express, do i smell count on the lines? not a piece of bice. the room is not on the light is ation increases. the coffee smells less than less sweetened preteen a more picture multi. i'm like, i don't know the 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. i 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 negative 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 to share some important

for me to have an approach to copy that allows me to look at myself in the mirror and then i can do that and i've worked in this industry for 13 years on the whole from finally call her to my work every day 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 costs the varieties sustainable conservation and fair trade conditions. that's what will help safeguard the future of coffee. the

join us on assets for the onset to almost everything. it's going to get very interesting because we're going to a micro to track down elementary parson and asking, how do they hold the in 15 minutes on the w. i can make a difference. visionaries with a project get involved to create a future experience that eco india been 19 minutes. definitely the
