All You Need to Know about Coffee and the Environment - part 1.

Welcome back to another piping-hot episode of Coffee Heroes. This time, we delve into the intricate relationship between coffee and the environment in a new series that explores our favourite brew's global impact.

In this episode, we're exploring the environmental challenges of coffee production, from seed to cup. I outline the importance of coffee as a beverage and a cultural unifier, economical engine, and communal bond.

Dive into an in-depth discussion on Arabica and Robusta coffee varieties, their cultivation methods, and how they differently affect our environment.

Key topics include:

An exploration of the environmental impacts of Robusta production, touching on the issues of deforestation, soil degradation, and biodiversity reduction. Learn about the advantages of opting for organic-certified coffee if Robusta is your preference.
A deep-dive into the world of Arabica production, focusing on speciality coffee grown in the shade. Discover how this method counteracts deforestation, prevents soil erosion, and promotes biodiversity.
A comparison between Arabica and Robusta regarding shared environmental challenges such as energy consumption and water usage.
