The world loves coffee. We drink two billion cups each day! But
it’s very vulnerable to climate change, and millions of coffee
farmers are struggling. Rising temperatures, unpredictable
rainfall and diseases are threatening our favourite caffeinated
drink and the livelihoods of smallholder farmers. But there are
solutions. We hear from a coffee farmer in Uganda and taste a new
variety that could be a gamechanger for coffee in a warming
world.

Presenter Sophie Eastaugh is joined by:

Aruna Chandrasekhar, journalist at Carbon Brief specialising in
land and food

Dr Aaron Davis, head of coffee research at Kew Gardens

Ashley Limaye, journalist at BBC Africa Digital
