survive.We now speak with Casper Hulsen and Sebastian Nielsen of Slow Forest about why a fundamental transformation of coffee production is needed and how a regenerative approach is essential to protecting the future of coffee.

I think that if we zoom out a bit and then look at the, the broader perspective, food system accounts for roughly a third of the global emissions, and that-that's just on the climate side.

If we look at the, uh, the nature and biodiversity side, coffee is amongst the biggest commodities that drive eighty percent of the tropical deforestation.

So for every cup of coffee people drink, we're destroying more and more of the planet.

And that takes us to the, the third pillar, that is the social side, because we're, we're an industry that has a heavy use of chemicals to optimize for yield.

That pollutes the soil and depletes the soil, it pol-pollutes the groundwater and, and leaves people with poor health conditions in, in Global South.

And, and the financial dimension on this is also clear.

Yeah.
