Fairtrade Ireland warned climate change could lead to much less coffee coming into the country by 2050
The Irish charity, which sources ethically-labelled products that benefit farmers in third world countries, said coffee, which makes its way into two billion cups worldwide each day, is being severely impacted by climate change.
"We could be looking at the end of the much-loved cup of coffee," said Peter Gaynor, Fairtrade Ireland’s Executive Director. "A worrying 93 per cent of the Fairtrade coffee farmers in Kenya surveyed are already experiencing the effects of climate change," Mr Gaynor added.
