Coffee soon to be a luxury item due to climate change! I had a really interesting chat with a chap who works for a coffee roasting company and he explained to me that due to climate change, coffee beans are becoming harder to grow. Most coffee beans are grown on farms situated on the lower slopes of mountains and due to the increase in temperatures, they are having to move these farms several hundred metres up the mountains where it is cooler. What happens as you go further up a mountain, less room to grow. The impact of less coffee beans, Arabica beans are particularly susceptible to temperature variations, means the cost of harvesting them will be passed on to the consumer. As the supply of coffee beans becomes less, naturally the coffee companies will increase the price to keep their shareholders happy. Climate Change will only become an emergency when certain things we take for granted are no longer become available to us. Next time you feel like you can't start your day until you've had your first, second or third coffee, imagine how tough it will be when your skinny latte is a tenner. #climateaction #coffeelovers #sustainability
