What are the consequences of climate change for coffee production, for people, for the beverage, and for the entire industry?
Chahan Yeretzian has been researching coffee for 20 years. At ZHaW in Wädenswil, he has built up the Coffee Excellence Center and at the Speciality Coffee Association he helps determine what coffee research should specialize in.
We talk about coffee from the laboratory, about underfunded coffee research in cultivation and overheated markets for innovations at the end of the chain. Chahan is precise, questions things that many coffee people take for granted. The coffee of the future may come partly from the laboratory, but it must not be blind to technology - 45 minutes with the coffee professor on the future of coffee.
Coffee is part of climate change. We can all decide whether it becomes more part of the solution or part of the problem.
