Join us as we dive into the climate risks and impacts of the coffee sector with our guests, Dr. Ivette Perfecto and Dr. Amanda Caudill. From exploring the effects of shade-grown cultivation to discussing innovative solutions within agroforestry, we uncover how coffee’s journey from bean to cup influences biodiversity, climate resilience, and farmer livelihoods. On the social front, the climate crisis is making a business with already-slim margins even harder to navigate for smallholders, all while premium cups seem to get more expensive, creating a puzzling disconnect. We’ll get to all these topics in detail in this conversation! 

Plus, for this episode we have a fun blooper segment with a coffee taste test you won’t want to miss! Tune in to learn how you can make more sustainable choices with your daily brew.
