From Beans to Byproducts: How Starbucks and Seattle Startups Tackle Climate Change in Coffee Production

Starbucks is distributing six types of climate-resistant coffee tree varietals that they developed to protect their coffee supply from the impacts of climate change. These varietals are naturally resistant to diseases and some effects of climate change. The company aims to share these trees and seeds with the global coffee sector and educate farmers about their characteristics. Starbucks is committed to ensuring the future of coffee and has implemented various initiatives, such as ethical sourcing practices and farmer support centers, to protect the coffee supply chain from climate change.
