2:15 pm
pulling the election lisa, and i'll tell you that is replacing cumulative sheet us through government. so wondering if you ever heard of us before the due date, and that's all we have time for coming up next close up. looks at why climate change is coming for your morning coffee stick around, so that the, the innovation green, the green revolution global. so listen to a whole lot of climate. the problem is take care of subscribe to those channels. every friday. subscribe to plan. it's a coffee is among the most popular beverages in the world, but climate change is threatening its production. soon,
2:16 pm
growing coffee won't be economically viable. the price is a new way to adjust it to the work involved in growing coffee. we need a different approach against i'm not what i mean. how kind of livelihoods, of millions of coffee farmers be saved. and we set our carpet, you know, and as presto to the in equity was rain forest by the real napoli. this man is on a business trip here, but he's not, you're a stereo. typical business man. andrea sells is concerned about people, not just the bottom line. it's important to him to get to know his coffee growers
2:17 pm
thus and weeks later 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 and excess diaz sales and 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 beams, then the low wages that were standard more, in fact than 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, how much guides you, i just always get together with these colleagues in austin doors. the pioneer is
2:18 pm
visiting the coffee, cooperative vine, the corey green gold in the kitchen 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 goose to send us a lift gate that i might some of those think that maybe yeah, if it's the middle mandated profit, the motorcycle, that's why it's small, produce it smaller accounts banded together to be strong in the square and to be able to guarantee consistent quality that and you low any that that's what it looks like on the lumen 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 destructive practices like forest clearing, but how can they prove that
2:19 pm
a topic of discussion with our german partners the units in the past as well as like that because that doesn't trust you as producers of august before it's awesome . they use couple photos and you can get the details people's guarantee, a sustainable environmentally friendly cultivation for them, and the you regulations are intended to stamp out practices that were common in recent decades. forests were frequently cleared to make way for coffee plantations, some 100000 heck chairs 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 pickers . 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
2:20 pm
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 ok. the difference when you walk in here already feels milder. and really i meant to say that 12 and a half pleasant doses, hoops of big data presented humidity's j a c on the finance have to buy one. as the cultivation methods used by the indigenous q to a community are held worldwide as a shining example of agro forestry trees provide the coffee plants with shade well
2:21 pm
preserving bio diversity. the alternative to big mano culture is the same for the most. we always worked with the trees here, 2nd order for itself. we called the system chalk, right? is traditional arrow for history. does anybody in the trees help the pine, nutrients to the soil, which other plants absorber them all your products? you know, 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. 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
2:22 pm
a lot of c o 2 and preserves bio diversity. stuckey motor. it's like a cell phone, but there's a very t palm growing back there. i think it was almost here. we have full century, especially my that out. but a full so would, can be used to construction and for furniture it's good would do the leg use which also right. you treat the way i know what to think of another. there are more plants, the cheese back lab and pick up from the even more just especially as us the community jointly owned 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,
2:23 pm
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 thing was for us out of each entry has a life, a spirit, the indigenous peoples of fault to ensure the right to nature. the quick, we know has become a pioneer 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 compromising 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
2:24 pm
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 move, and 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 to bubble, 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. i'm worried that there might be no cost me one day saying that's why i'm passionate
2:25 pm
about supporting every project that comes to us. so costly that's produced sustainably and transparently gets solar in germany. i've often thought you might come to the sofa loop and 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 tom as 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. so 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 has hundreds and hundreds of aromas twice as many in fact, as wine. which coffee do you find most exciting
2:26 pm
from the smell? i probably the same number a chain. i didn't know. let's see. it must be. but the nozzle come to me when you smell it. so there's a certain sweetness including this in the background type. a barrier aroma to be more types, types of business, but ultimately, eclipse is the 1st impression when i got them into effect. didn't ask mind or 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
2:27 pm
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 life. as a big coffee lot, my friends, an awful lot of is coffee across i research coffee because this practically no other plan. so clearly tells the story of the inside of climate change on agriculture and the global sound. the latter something provides, you can demonstrate why we need to adapt a culture in these regions hustling 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. ok. thank not for them. yeah, 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
2:28 pm
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 the 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 cultivated by assignments, 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 on suitable for cultivation. this is not going to as the fix to and fulfilled gene cards, but also on the equal 60 months,
2:29 pm
the hard because a some because of the increasing demand for policy versus the c w 2 doses that are predicted in the future people might be forced to step groans, go, see not 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, a 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 is which name time because it's not legal because the coffee plant is a tree of defense high. so it takes a little while to get from
2:30 pm
a planting to the 1st time and fall to establishing on the will market. and it happens here on often bank 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 andreas fellows 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 the need for, i'd say fast, 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 i should say is it's going to be true till the end of
2:31 pm
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 as visits and inventing this up until the timing of the year can obtain and circulate quite well. that's of these next beneath the coffee are made of plastic coffee dry slowly but evenly here. this is, this is the most modern system we can imagine having come, 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 constant very good quality of that. it also retains its quality for longer or in contrast to other producers, the quality 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. those
2:32 pm
say we already have 12243646 when we moved and another 4050 are drying. and we'll see 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 insisting ability to afford it. it's a great joy for me to try to act as a most piece for them as a facilitator for their ideas. and with the help of the coffee they grow to can be them in germany. so for, we're bringing the coffee and we're getting coffee in germany is the 2nd largest coffee in porter in the world fellows and the shipment is destined for hamburg. the port city profited from colonialism and it remains an important trading hub for coffee beans today. fells and named whose coffee roasting company after done keyhole to the night who fought windmills. this type of somebody is traditionally and asked the colonial product worked with every negative connotation . imaginable is their child labor exploitation with other prices. but the new way do justice to the work involved in growing complicated to us. we need
2:33 pm
a different approach image, but it was an account and that's what 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. business, the drum to start, our recruiters grew and on average by 10 tons a year, i mean the rising demand twinges, and the demand always being much bigger than our production capacity. you know, so it's one thing people that will ever be able to meet the demand don't come up with our direct trade. and our trend steiner policies are going to show this is not
2:34 pm
some of the idea was thing. the ice cream is a transport into the moment it was so it was important for us to function commercially, was to be economically successful, to continue on dorchester software correct design in uganda, sophie fund live and 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 firm. i said that's one of the reasons they're growing love. erica is because of the higher you. yes. there's a difference between you and the 4th to insure and tony who 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
2:35 pm
interested now about to, to understand a little bit more about the 2 types of that. erica, maybe if you could actually show us as a treat. so you're welcome to this you might as well because this one is already the trying to dry his coffee on the top all it was is recommended there. visiting dave is cordova a coffee farmer with a lot of experience which most easiest way to do a dry, 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 want cookies around cheese that are really very promising in terms of resistance to josh or how they've changed back up with you about the just not yet being actively cultivated. commercially said on the better because we can
2:36 pm
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 get it and why the distribution and invest marked as a few on on the of the of applied. 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 this and although busta ok, so one of this i have those 3 for a 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 see style, fists and diseases. mostly like you. i've seen a profile of monday. you did. i was stumped out. prone, david seen,
2:37 pm
but do you see nowadays, a broker trick? boy, i think so. who is this one? at least the spit, i kind stuff like, but it was those when i, we visited much outputs to put our lives as what, how much like if the benefit of this one? so we funded and, and her team want to document and substantiate the farmer's experiences in a project that will run over several years. they're comparing 800 farms that 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 he 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 it be that lucky in for an actual yeah. that one for these as much more done. okay, this one now. so if i'm older, if i'm getting going was yes i submit a claim. what did i have done? have you list production before they suspect that it's precisely this big,
2:38 pm
long trunk that protects america from drought and heat god. this looks very dangerous. harvesting in the tree tops is quite the challenge. i have people now if i want to and also the other sites. i also come here, it's a nice title, diesel. you know, so 40. yes. close to me like 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. 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 that's leading agricultural exports, commodity c. and we think that the bank of coffee gives us an opportunity to continue exporting coffee in the long term and also to provide that for you. of
2:39 pm
course use for the are because we're best as a now a little bit of heads supporting courageous farmers like dave is cordova is just the beginning for the you gone to a coffee farmers alliance. the next day tony mongolia invites the german research or to a new factory. the machine cleans the coffee to prepare it for export. so we have uh we have a small distort 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 an increase in
2:40 pm
price that goes back to the firm. i. so this is a follow a 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 machine. it is robust of coffee and also school. and that's good then because at the farm is gray, the coffee to the highest standard and then it's process to to the highest ended. yeah. then there's a good chance that the end product will be high quality coffee. sit tight. so that's good. be actual calls come down schmidt and donaldson shots, if 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
2:41 pm
success of the barracka. then i'm coming from plan to coffee trade. you want to get the full half of stuff for about 3 to 5 years on capital coffee tree is harvested for an average and says he is saying are often and even longer. 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 so important that we have now the people here want to keep their jobs, the country, it's exports, and coffee sends their cup which you know, the sustainable coffee from the ecuadorian cooperative has arrived in germany, in puerto andrea spells and is delivering it personally from ecuador me got fantastic. let's put it down here. to fairness is
2:42 pm
a central tenet of this small grocery in new york. also guaranteed by address felton's direct imports the oven. your collection is committed to practicing what it preaches. everyone earns the same and is involved in managing the business. the roasting process produces the desired aroma. what can you know exactly this now we're after that. so in the early stage of the became dark express . so i smell count on the line, not as confused by see a room is normalize. ation increases the coffee smells less and less sweetened. preteen more fits or multi. i might count on 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. the really hope that
2:43 pm
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 andreas fells in his own ready 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 shift some quotes 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 and i look forward to my work every day and to make this possible in the future. we need to work in a very idealistic way and replace the ideas to charlotte and the industry is changing. resilience coffee varieties sustainable cultivation and fair trade conditions. that's what will help safeguard the future of coffee. the
2:44 pm
a living independent, arise to society is full of contrasts and any policy is a big challenge. many problems can only be solved by working together. yes, i think i pretend isn't misleading. what is home? how do we tackle the major issues about time to because i guess there is a significant risk of human extinction from advancing our systems and changes the new frontier. so from our series continues
2:45 pm
on d w. the coming out for you, russia is paying influence us to manipulate you and that's just one way russian stakeholders are working. that fake news into our feeds without us even noticing what do you think should social media platforms have to stop? it's also the pond driven website only fence promises authentic relationships between create us and follow us via direct set about who i follow is really upsetting with. and the top results of your google search might be scammed. find out how to protect yourself from mal, the ties a these topics and moving the tech wolf. and he is what you need to know that.
