About Us
Starbucks is investing in two " innovation farms" in Central America in an effort to protect its coffee supply from the effects of climate change, CNBC reports.
The farms in Costa Rica and Guatemala will study hybrid coffee varieties to advance research and development of climate-resilient coffee.
Even a half a degree difference at the wrong time can make a big impact on coffee yield, flavor, and aroma, according to the Climate Institute.
"Through these innovation farms, we will develop solutions that will not only improve coffee productivity and quality but also empower farmers with the tools and knowledge needed to thrive in a changing world and challenging climate," Starbucks vice president of global coffee agronomy, R&D, and sustainability, Roberto Vega, says in a statement.
Starbucks has distributed approximately 90 million climate-resistant coffee trees and more than 53 million coffee seedlings to farmers.
