00:00None. Every day, the world drinks over 2.2 billion cups of coffee. That's right, 2.2 billion.
00:06But did you know that more than 100 million farmers work hard to grow those beans?
00:10And here's the kicker. By 2050, climate change could slash Arabica coffee production by 80%.
00:16Scientists like Felipe Farao at the University of Florida are on a mission to find a solution.
00:21They're looking into Robusta coffee, a tough contender against climate change.
00:24Robusta grows with fewer inputs like water and fertilizer, and it's highly adaptable.
00:29Imagine coffee that's climate-smart, sustainable, and still tastes great.
00:32And guess what? Researchers are testing these resilient Robusta beans not just in Brazil, but also in Florida.
00:38They're seeing if Robusta can thrive in new environments while keeping up with the quality and production demands.
00:43So next time you sip your morning Joe, think about the future of coffee.
00:46Robusta might just be the hero we need to keep our cups full and our mornings bright.
00:50Stay brewed for more coffee updates.
