Thanks for making such an insightful video. We all know that Ethiopia is the birthplace of Coffee Arabica and the the south western part of the country is endowed with diverse and abundant coffee genetic. It is not late to conserve the remaining wild coffee but research should first identify why the previous conservation continuum fails? I say its due to the strict and exclusionary conservation approach, the protected area. Better to think about the ongoing social-economic phenomena as well.
The issue in the video is about the link between climate change and the prospects of the wild coffee Arabica population in Ethiopia. I don't know why you mentioned about Brazil's coffee production extent. Its a plain fact that Ethiopia is the cradle of coffee arabica. Thanks Kew Gardens for challenging such an orthodox ideology.
I'm drinking coffee right now and I'm so glad you guys are checking this out. I understand that the chocolate tree, Theobroma cocoa has s similar genetic disposition. Also, aren't some apple trees and other crops in need of more diversity? Are the botanic gardens around the world and many breeders helping to increase the amount of stronger plants at these plantations? I'm letting the bees do all of the cactus breeding for now. Thanks
As the exponential growth of the human species further destroys and consumes the earths finite natural resources. The changing taste or even end of the coffee bean will be the least of humanities problems. After all the many in the future will have very little water available to make coffee in the first place Well done to the kew Gardens for making a film that has so many layers of intrigue hopefully this film will make people think when they slurp on their latte in star bucks or Costa Coffee.

a bit late to the scene, but brilliant short - wish there was more information on Robusta beans

Very powerful. Thanks for research and work you are putting into these educational pieces!
So amazing
Starbucks and other big coffee traders are currently spending hundreds of millions of dollars to try to address this situation.
Nice coffee
Potent warning. Great insight, thank you.
excellent, and scary.
Very nicely made clip!
Le jour où il n'y aura plus de café... Quelle horreur !
