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. the price is a new way to adjust it to the work involved in growing companies. we need a different approach accounts, and that's what i mean. how kind of livelihoods, of millions of coffee farmers be saved. and we said our cup of chino and expressive to the in equity was rain forest by the real napoli. this man is on
11:17 pm
a business trip here, but he's not, you're a stereo. typical businessman, 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 weeks later. we team with one of our 2 partners here in the regents in the amazon little and see if is when we visit these conferences regularly, 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 that 1st the statements, especially if my conference call next yes. sales and got involved in the industry 30 years ago was a handful of like minded people. they wanted to change the coffee world. they were happy to pay more for the beans than the low wages that were standard more. in fact, in the fair trade companies that already existed back then,

11:19 pm
b u regulation that only allows in ports 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 union passed as well as like that because that doesn't trust us producers of all this before. it's awesome. they is called the photos and because yet the indigenous peoples guarantee a sustainable environmentally friendly cultivation system 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, 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
11:20 pm
damages the environment. deforestation like in brazil, also releases huge amounts 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 leaders of water. that's nearly a whole backup 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 killed my elder lady. i meant to say that 12 and a half pleasant doses, so it's
11:21 pm
a big difference on humidity. shame, i don't know if i have to have to buy one as the cultivation methods used by the indigenous cue to a community or hailed a worldwide as a shining example of agro forestry trees. provide the coffee plants with shade, well preserving bio diversity. the alternative to big mano culture is the simpler, but how much we always work with the trees here. second order for the seller. we call the system chalk, right? it's traditional arrow forestry. depending what i get into the trees, help the pine nutrients to the soil, which other plants absorb it. and while 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, drive the memory, shade of other trees. the air is cooler and the soil more moist. banana plants or cuts, how trees provide shade, for example,
11:22 pm
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 are 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, but there's a very t palm growing back there. i think it was last almost here. we have full century especially by that out of the but a full so would can be used to construction. and the furniture it's good would do the leg use which also right. you treat the remote plots, the chief best man for them to be, even with us as best as us the community jointly owned some 40000 heck tears, one half a cultivate, the other half remains untouched. green forest,
11:23 pm
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. go there. so 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, lu, telephone, indigenous peoples of fault to ensure the right to nature 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 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.
11:24 pm
the one cafe and the berlin district ashuelot 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's chairs, 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 named mine, i phone and 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?
11:25 pm
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 cost me one day saying that's why i'm passionate about supporting every project that comes to us that will cost me that's produced sustainably, and transparently gets solar 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 they finally can only advise the 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. that's why taste is so important and considering how we can improve it. but most of the, remember this, my food, both coffee, that with stands difficult climatic conditions and tastes good. that's recall,
11:26 pm
different varieties are tasted and compared at copying events, coffee had hundreds and hundreds of a roam is twice as many, in fact as wine. which coffee do you find most exciting from the 1st smell? i probably the same number 18. i don't, i didn't know. let's see. it must be. but the nozzle called the system and 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 when i got them into fix. didn't ask mind or the taste 1st and ask me how this makes it 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,
11:27 pm
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 happens because she is a part of my life in many different ways of life as a big coffee lot. i 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 impact of climate change on agriculture and the global sound. the last or 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 put them down and the other him which coffee
11:28 pm
plans are best suited to withstand 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 i 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 according to shifting of a form. what we're now looking at to now research is with a little bit a type of coffee that also comes from uganda and is increasingly being cultivated by families. 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, kind of and robust us only grow in the so called coffee built. they need
11:29 pm
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 equal 60 months a 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 study, groans, golfing, 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 existing plantations be saved? america, a re discovered wild coffee variety could be part of the answer. it appears to be more resilient to drought in pest infestation. but this is no quick fix noise
11:30 pm
coffee introducing a new types of coffee to the global market is definitely a long term project. i'm just going to find 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 the planting to the 1st time and fall to establishing on on the will market. it happens you're often vague, 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 this tropical coffee, built tempered based in puerto andreas fellows and regularly visits his business partners. this coffee cooperative recently invested in these drying beds. the watch the coffee twice and that seems to see the need for i'd say 5 for the
11:31 pm
hope is new and thanks. wonderful. cemented with the pulse deal of time. the coffee becomes much oh, i see the come on. so what i took, let's say, is it's going to be 2 weeks 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 we can eventually eventually just heading over the air condition 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 about 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. that means that the company not only arrives at our plant and very good quality for that. it also retains its quality for longer of this, in contrast to other producers,
11:32 pm
the quality cooperative doesn't have to show that the risks of such investments alone sells and pays in advance. 6 months before the harvest. this was a good year. you'll receive over 14 tons or $210.00 sucks. they'll 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 model piece for them 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 in like 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 who's coffee roasting company
11:33 pm
after don quixote the night who fought wins mills. a started, somebody is traditionally and asked the 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 it was an account and those, 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, 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,
11:34 pm
the drum to start, our recruiters grew and on average by 10 tons a year, i mean the rising demand isn't the demand, not 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 some of the idea within 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 upset. 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
11:35 pm
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 to, to understand a little bit more about the 2 types of america. maybe if you could actually show us as a treat. so you're welcome to this you might as well. so this one is already there, i'm trying to dry his coffee or made tough while it was, is recommended there visiting data schools over a coffee farmer with a lot of experience, which we'll see is this what a 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 world
11:36 pm
cookies around cheese that are really very promising in terms of resistance to drown house or how they types not going to be about. they just not yet being actively cultivated commercially said 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 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 of this. and although busta ok, so one of this i have those 3 florida is you see colors one on one side of the young's to barracka is already being blended with other types of coffee and sales
11:37 pm
are increasing for the farmer. this means he can continue to pay the school fees for his 8 children with the other on the cell pests and diseases most a thank you. i've seen a profile of money today that was stamped, i was prone david's thing, but you see now to the broker trick boy, i think so. who is this? why not produce the spit a concept why? but it was those when we visited myself, which is 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. are there comparing 800 farms that grow different types of coffee plants in terms of however, there are good reasons why the resilience li, 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
11:38 pm
a standing down on the set top district. mm hm. would it be that lucky in for an actual yeah. that one for me is, is much more than this one now. so if i'm oldest proof i'm getting going was yes i to submit a claim. what did i have done? have you list production before they suspect that it's precisely this big, long trunk that protects america? from drought and heat god 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. magnolia is campaigning for this because he sees the wild coffee plant as
11:39 pm
a glimmer of hope for the whole country. so coffee is the brand 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 a because robust as i know, a little bit of heads 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 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
11:40 pm
a lions brings tangible benefits to its members, such as more favorable conditions for bank loans. it's also good for farmers because they are able to benefit from the additional value that you get through meaningful grading for exports. every stage has an increase in price, but it goes back to the firm i. so this is a follow a decent opportunity for from us what on this 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 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 labelle coffee can be processed using the same machines as a robust of coffee and also school. and that's good then because it, the firm is grow the coffee to the highest standard and then it's process 10 to the highest standard. yeah. then there's
11:41 pm
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 our research. the agricultural economist from pottstown wants to help ensure the success of lead, erica them. and i'm coming from plan to coffee trade. you want to get the 1st half of stuff for about 3 to 5 years on capital coffee tree is harvested for an average and says he is saying are also nathan long ago. 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 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
11:42 pm
puerto, andrea 1000 is delivering it personally from ecuador e. got fantastic. let's put it down here. to fairness is a central tenet of this small rose 3 in unit one, 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 tell me exactly this malware up there. so in the early stage of each of darkest press, 2, i smell count on the line. now there's a few spicy rooms. normalize ation increases the coffee smells less than less sweeten. 14 more picture in multi count on our with coffee and the
11:43 pm
reality of how it's produced. can leave 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 like a physical vein. again, 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 share some important for me to have an approach to coffee 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 how 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 idea. this is all about the industry is
