Big Picture Science - Coffee of the Future
Drinking
a cup of coffee is how billions of people wake up every morning. But climate
change is threatening this popular beverage. Over 60% of the world’s coffee
species are at risk of extinction. Scientists are searching for solutions,
including hunting for wild, forgotten coffee species that are more resilient to
our shifting climate. Find out how the chemistry of coffee can help us brew
coffee alternatives, and how coffee grounds can be part of building a
sustainable future.
