Does climate change mean a future without coffee?

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.
