and what he thinks has the attack had on israel's posit capital tel aviv focus on one year as well, how most will starts october 5th 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. the 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 suppressive 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 weeks later. we team with one of our 2 partners here in the regents in the amazon blue and see if 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 at 1st. the same, especially as my conference call next year. the salesman got involved in the
12:32 pm
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 than 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 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 lift gate,
12:33 pm
some of the seats, the middle mandated profit, the motorcycle. that's why small producer, the smaller accounts have banded together to be strong in the square and to be able to guarantee consistent all of that. and you need the level of assume, 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 a topic of discussion with their german partners the union passed as well as like that because that doesn't trust us producers of august before it's awesome. they used photos indeed, yet the indigenous peoples guarantee a sustainable environmentally friendly cultivation system in the you, regulations are intended to stamp out practices that were common in recent decades,
12:34 pm
the forests were frequently cleared to make way for coffee plantations, some 100000 hectares 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 a by car. here by the rio napoli in northern ecuador,
12:35 pm
indigenous coffee growers work in a completely different way, including us government, some sense for him. okay, what's the difference when you walk in here already feels milder. he was really, i meant as the 12 as pleasant courses. so it's a big difference and the humidity's j a c on the defensive to buy when 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 simpler, but how much we always worked with the trees here. second, when we called the system chalk, right? it's 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. i don't want additional plants and other plans
12:36 pm
that we can eat, like the coffee plant drive and then 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 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, but it's almost here. we have full citrate, especially by the outlet, but both of wood can be use of construction and the furniture showing that it's
12:37 pm
good wood is the leg use which also right. you treat the more plants, the cheese back, land up in america from the even more just especially as us as the community jointly owned some 40000 tech tears. one half they cultivate, the other half remains untouched. green forest, thanks to some 60 different crops they grow. the people here are largely self sufficient for a goose to fill this out. it's a way of marrying the past with the future. so there's to, let's say that it's going to be the bucket and this help myself to bring humans in nature, into harmony with one another. the same thing was for us have added agent tree has a life, a spirit, the indigenous peoples of fault to ensure the right to nature, quinoa 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
12:38 pm
its constitution. that meant for example, halting plans to expand gold and copper mining. with nature conservation is most successful when people's livelihoods are secured. andrea felt as 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 live and can live out there passion. and she's not the only one who wants to learn something from francis pod slash it. 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
12:39 pm
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 beans. but across the industry, many are concerned about how climate changes impacting coffee cultivation logging the, as 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. so costly that's produced sustainably and transparently gets solar in germany. i've often thought you might come to pay for sophie fun. 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 tom as to produce it. when we know there's
12:40 pm
a market, we can't just tell them to switch to it isn't, 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 the smartphone, both coffee, that with 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 a roam is twice as many in fact as wine. which coffee do you find most exciting? from the 1st smell, i'd probably say number i chain. i don't even know. let's see. it must be. but the nozzle come to me when you smell it, or 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 effect, didn't ask bible taste 1st and ask me how this makes that sound. yeah.
12:41 pm
sound bad. hey, name, 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 and live and works as an agricultural economist at the puts done 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 that lives as the big coffee lot. i friends, an awful lot of is 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
12:42 pm
adapt. i will 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 not good, thank not put them down and the other him which coffee plans are best suited to withstand climate change? the agricultural economist is trying to find an answer to this question with david, be got uh and so feel by 2 shots in uganda in east africa. but he, 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 is the climate change will negatively impact coffee production in uganda on task. so the approach is need to adapt to coordinate system of a phone. what with 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
12:43 pm
by assignments to be an option for adapting to climate change on a large scale and uganda, i think the problem is that the 2 most common types of coffee arriving 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 has to be fixed 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, including the fred do 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
12:44 pm
existing plantations be saved? rebecca re discovered wild coffee variety could be part of the answer. it appears to be more resilient 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 team, we're talking about the systemic change, which we just 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 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 the tropical coffee built tempered based
12:45 pm
in puerto andrea sales 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 5 of them. the hope is new and thanks, wonderful. cemented with the pulse is still attached to the coffee becomes smaller truck. oh, i see the come on. so what a typical say is it shouldn't be too, it's always 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 as visits and inventing this up until the timing of the year can get in and circulate quite well. that's of these. next we need the coffee are made of plastic. it's called a coffee dry, slowly, evenly here. so this is,
12:46 pm
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 fluid drying process. it means that the coffee not only 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. those say we already have 12243646 when we moved. and another $4050.00 or drying fee is that me from i'm from confidence. 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 florida. 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 grew to compete them in germany. and so for,
12:47 pm
we're bringing the coffee and we're getting coffee. and germany is the 2nd largest coffee importer 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 knights who fought windmills. these types of ideas traditionally and asked the colonial product or with every negative connotation imaginable is their child labor exploitation with other prices, but in no way do justice to the work involved in growing complicated ones, 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. this lease, especially global market price, is fluctuate greatly. the minimum price fair trade sets per pound of washed erotica,
12:48 pm
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 sells and pays about $3.50 and his business is still doing well. business the drum to start our recruiters growing on average by 10 tons a year. i mean, the rising demand, twinges, and the demand always be much bigger than our production capacity not. so it's one thing people that will ever be able to meet the demand don't come up with our direct trade and are transparent policies are going to show this is not some of the idea of listing the ice cream. and as a consequence of them, it was so it was important for us to function commercially, most to be economically successful, to continue and go trust and so forth. next 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
12:49 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 you. yes. there's a difference between the and the 4th to insure and tony move go. yeah. comes from a coffee, growing family himself. he built up the you going to 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 america. maybe if you could actually show us as a treat. so you're welcome to that you might as well i'm the so this one is already there trying to dry his coffee or mid tough while it was is recommended there
12:50 pm
visiting dave is cool over a coffee farmer with a lot of experience, which is what new dr. 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. the listening off, we also know of the coffee, the rise cheese that are really very promising in terms of resistance to draw social how they times lack of a bit about that. just not yet being actively cultivated, commercially yet on the better. because we can see his own writing 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 that. 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
12:51 pm
climate thing bought out on this side, this an auto busta. ok. so one of this i of those 3 florida is you see colors one on one side of the young still the barracka is already being blended with other types of coffee and sales are increasing for the former. this means he can continue to pay the school fees for his 8 children with the other on as the selfish cent disease is mostly. thank you. i've seen a profile monday. you did our stomped out problem, david. anything but you see nowadays the broker trick brought up being so who was this? why not list the spit? i kind stuff like, but it was those when we visited myself, which support her eyes. but i'm not 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. they're comparing 800 farms that grow
12:52 pm
different types of coffee plants. 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 it will be possible to follow the cream them to decides here like that because i started down on the set top of this to me to, to be good. lucky in for the actual. yeah. that one from use as much more done on 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 did on housing list for? that's what this, what 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 have to ropes now if i want to look for the other sites, i also come here and they type of diesel. you know, so 42?
12:53 pm
yes close to me. so 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 plant as a glimmer of hope for the whole country. so coffee is the brand as leading agricultural exports, commodity. and we think that it's really based off of coffee, gives us an opportunity to continue exporting coffee in the long term and also to provide a variety of coffee. so there was a because robust as i know, a little bit of hands supporting courageous farmers like dave is, 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. we
12:54 pm
have uh, we have a small the store and i have 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. we're going as aligns 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 to get through meaningful grading through exports. every stage has an increase in price that goes back to the firm i. so this is a follow additional put into for from us what on this function 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 the barracka could be brought to market more quickly. does this variety offer hope for the future of coffee?
12:55 pm
as well as the zip the coffee can be processed using the same machine? it is 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. it's tice as good be actual calls come down schmidt and donaldson 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 the feel hot stuff for about 3 to 5 years. i've copied coffee tree is harvested for an average. and how does he use thing i often 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 the time when we already have very front in climate
12:56 pm
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 puerto andreas files and is delivering it personally from ecuador me got fantastic, and you put it down here to fairness is a central tenet of this small rose 3 in unit one. also guaranteed by address thousands direct invoice. the other near collection is committed to practicing what he preaches. everyone earns the same and is involved in managing the business. the roasting process produces the desired aroma. what can you know?
12:57 pm
exactly the smell we're after that's always in the early stage of the medium, dark express, so i smell count on the life. not a piece of i see a room is as a kind of a lies ation increases the coffee smells less than less sweeten. 14 more picture and multi cut them out with 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 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 to
12:58 pm
share some important me to have enough troops, a 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 all 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, coffee varieties sustainable cultivation and fair trade conditions. that's what will help safeguard the future of coffee. the rug, the environment, trends technology company is digitalization,
