What does the future of coffee production look like amidst growing threats such as climate change? Join us to learn more!

Coffee is one of the world's most popular drinks, with a global sector worth hundreds of billions of dollars annually. However, its long-term viability is threatened by climate change, pests, farmer poverty, and ageing farmer populations. Corporations, as the sector's most powerful stakeholders, are positioned to lead change and safeguard the future of coffee production.

Kaan discusses what actions the coffee sector is taking to safeguard the long-term viability of coffee production.
