Espresso #93 discusses the future of coffee in the face of the climate emergency

On the eve of the 300th anniversary of coffee in Brazil, coffee farming is beginning to build its next global agenda. This edition, circulating during International Coffee Week, offers a look at some of the paths that may define this future.

In the interview, Vanusia Nogueira, the first woman and first Brazilian to head the International Coffee Organization, discusses climate change, new consumer markets, innovation, and the need to bring governments, companies, and institutions closer together to address the sector's challenges. This sustainability report, produced by 5th Wave, shows how the supply chain can respond to the climate emergency and lead changes capable of reconciling ecology, economy, and equity.

This edition also follows transformations already underway. We show how the number of coffee growers creating their own brands to add value to production and increase their income is growing, and how the revision of traditional protocols seeks to update the language used to evaluate and communicate coffee quality. We also travel to Panama to tell how gesha has projected a small origin among the most valued in the world.
