Coffee Under Threat: Starbucks Invests in Farms to Fight Climate Change

Climate change is making life tough for coffee farmers. Temperatures are rising, and weird weather patterns like La Niña are bringing frosts and droughts that mess with crop growth. This isn’t just bad news for farmers; it also affects what we drink. Starbucks is stepping up to protect its coffee supply by buying more farms in Costa Rica and Guatemala. By doing this, they hope to keep the quality of their beans high and ensure there's enough coffee to go around. Roberto Vega, a big shot at Starbucks, says that the areas where coffee grows best are getting hit hard by extreme weather. So, what’s Starbucks doing about it? They’re trying to make sure their coffee is safe, so you can still enjoy your favorite drinks without any hiccups. Plus, they want to cut down on their carbon footprint and push for more sustainability in the coffee world.
