This is the 3rd in a 5-part series on The Daily Coffee Pro Podcast by Map It Forward with first-time guest John Abatzoglou. John is a Professor of Climatology at the University of California Merced.

In this series of the podcast, host Lee Safar and guest John will discuss the Impact of climate change on the coffee supply chain.

In this episode of The Daily Coffee Pro by Map It Forward Lee and John explore the intricate relationship between carbon emissions, agriculture, and climate change, with a particular focus on coffee production.

The conversation delves into the ways in which agriculture contributes to human-made carbon emissions, despite the carbon sequestration processes inherent in crop growth. Specific attention is given to the carbon footprint of coffee production, from the use of fertilizers to shipping methods, and the significant role of transportation in carbon emissions associated with coffee.

The episode also explores regenerative agriculture as a potential solution for reducing carbon emissions and enhancing carbon sequestration within the coffee industry.

Additionally, examples from the coffee community illustrate how individual producers are adopting sustainable and regenerative farming practices to mitigate climate impact and ensure the longevity of their farms amidst global challenges.
