Impact of Climate Change on Coffee

The video discusses the impact of climate change on coffee production, focusing on the challenges faced by Arabica and Robusta coffee plants. It highlights the threats from rising temperatures, pests, and diseases like coffee rust. The video also explores the potential of other coffee species, such as Coffea stenophylla, to withstand climate changes. The importance of preserving wild coffee species and their habitats is emphasized, along with a call to address climate change to protect the future of coffee.

What are the two main types of coffee discussed in the video?

• Coffea canephora and Coffea stenophylla

• Coffea robusta and Coffea liberica

• Coffea arabica and Coffea canephora

• Coffea arabica and Coffea liberica

Why is Arabica coffee particularly vulnerable to climate change?

• It thrives in wet and cool mountain regions

• It is resistant to pests and diseases

• It grows best in dry and arid areas

• It requires high temperatures to grow

What pest is expanding its range due to rising temperatures?

• Coffee leaf miner

• Coffee root weevil

• Coffee stem borer

• Coffee berry borer

What is the impact of coffee rust on coffee plants?

• It turns the leaves a rusty orange

• It enhances the flavor of coffee

• It increases the growth rate of coffee plants

• It makes coffee plants drought-resistant

How does climate change affect the quality of coffee beans?

• It improves the aroma and taste

• It has no effect on coffee quality

• It negatively impacts flavor and quality

• It makes coffee beans larger

What role do microclimates play in coffee production?

• They increase the yield of coffee plants

• They make coffee beans more resistant to pests

• They change the look, smell, and taste of coffee beans

• They have no impact on coffee production

What is the economic impact of climate change on the coffee industry?

• It reduces the cost of coffee production

• It causes significant financial losses

• It has no economic impact

• It boosts coffee production worldwide

Which coffee species is considered promising for future cultivation?

• Coffea liberica

• Coffea stenophylla

• Coffea arabica

• Coffea canephora

What percentage of wild coffee species are at risk of extinction?

• 80%

• 20%

• 40%

• 60%

What is a major reason for the risk of extinction of wild coffee species?

• Overproduction of coffee

• Lack of genetic diversity

• Destruction of forests for agriculture

• Increased coffee consumption
