The need to transform coffee farming to adapt to climate change was discussed during a session at the Global Landscapes Forum on the sidelines of the UN climate talks in Paris, France. An article on the website of the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) summarizes discussions during the session. While coffee demand is on the increase, quality and yields are highly sensitive to rainfall and temperature, making it extremely difficult for smallholder farmers who produce a large proportion of the world’s coffee.

The first poem to coffee was written in Mecca in 1511 by Abd-al-Kadir which goes: “Coffee, Thou dispensest sorrow, Thou art the drink of the faithful, Thou givest health to those who labour, and enablest the good to find the truth. Coffee, Thou art our gold! There where thou are offered, Men grow good and wise. May Allah overthrow thy calumniators and deliver thee from their wiles.”
