A recent study by Australian scientists, including from CSIRO, the National Science Agency of Australia, and the University of South Queensland, has revealed the adverse effects of global climate change on coffee production. The research, published on March 10, 2023, indicates that from 1980 to 2020, the top 12 coffee-growing regions have experienced a surge in natural disasters due to climate change, raising the risk of significant crop failures. Doug Richardson, the lead author, emphasized the vulnerability of coffee trees to climate change, stating that the optimal conditions for coffee production are being disrupted. The study warns that by 2050, the coffee-growing area may decrease by 50% due to these changing climate conditions.
