Regulation works! ☕🌳 Companies are already changing because of the EUDR. Yet—most still can’t prove their coffee is deforestation-free. EUDR NOW! 🔗 Forest 500 report by Global Canopy: https://forest500.org/publications/forest-500-data-shows-regulation-is-driving-corporate-action-on-deforestation/

Coffee could get more expensive — and less consistent ☕️ Up to 20% of arabica-growing land may become unsuitable by 2050. That means supply pressure, price spikes, and shifting origins. 🔗 dailycoffeenews.com/2026/04/02/m... #CoffeeWatch #CoffeeCrisis #ClimateFuture

The International Coffee Organization just launched its campaign: “Coffee is part of the solution.” ☕ Nice slogan. But where’s the accountability? No commitments. No timelines. Coffee can be the solution — but only with real action. 💪🌱 #Coffee #Sustainability

Coffee expansion is driving deforestation while climate change shrinks suitable land for growing it. Without strong deforestation laws, forests, wildlife, and the future of coffee are at risk. 🌳☕ Read the report: 🔗https://coffeewatch.org/drinking-deforestation-in-german-coffee/

By 2050, up to 50% of coffee-growing land could disappear. Farmers need support now. Tools like CafeClima help but we still need real action from companies and governments to stop deforestation and protect farmers.

Every coffee conversation is a chance to grow something better. ☕🌱 When we talk about agroforestry, forests, human rights, and living wages, we are not making things complicated. We are making coffee fairer, stronger, and more sustainable for everyone in the chain.

DUH & Coffee Watch just ranked major coffee companies on their implementation of supply chain due diligence. Many still lack traceability and proper assessments. We are calling for strong regulation now! 🔗https://coffeewatch.org/drinking-deforestation-in-german-coffee/

5.5M farmers live below $3.20/day while coffee drives deforestation and toxic pesticide use. Farmers earn only 1–10% of the retail price. Change the system, support strong regulation! #EUDR #LkSG #CSDDD 🔗https://coffeewatch.org/drinking-deforestation-in-german-coffee/

Women grow, harvest, & process much of the coffee we drink. Yet many women coffee farmers face barriers to basic healthcare. This #IWD2026, champion barista Lem Butler is leading the 10K for H.E.R. walk to raise funds for cervical cancer prevention programs supporting women in coffee communities.

New DUH & Coffee Watch report: major risks in German coffee supply chain due diligence. With the EUDR & CSDDD weakened, responsible companies face unfair competition — and forests & workers pay the price. 🔗https://coffeewatch.org/drinking-deforestation-in-german-coffee/

A 10-year study in Ethiopia found 95.4% of coffee production variation is driven by environmental factors like soil health, shade trees, and vegetation. Yet coffee farming is also the 6th largest driver of deforestation. 🌱 The solution: agroforestry.

I'm a not optimistic about our climate (and coffee farms) future, but spending an hour with @coffeewatch.bsky.social Founder Etelle Higonnet could change almost anyone's mind. #coffee #coffeesky #coffeenerd #specialtycoffee #coffeefarm #coffeepeople www.youtube.com/watch?v=enLu...

#Coffee starts in the soil. Yet decades of chemical-heavy farming have degraded the living systems that sustain it. Healthy soil means stronger yields, drought resilience, and a more secure future for coffee. ☕🌱

Sustainable coffee starts in the soil. 🌱 Healthy soil, climate-smart varieties, and the right rainfall make long-term coffee production possible — not just higher yields. ☕🌍

Happy Lunar New Year! 🧧 2026 marks the Year of the Fire Horse — a symbol of bold momentum and energy. We urge the coffee industry to seize this moment and address the systemic failures in China’s coffee sector. https://coffeewatch.org/ghost-farms-and-coffee-laundering/

Every cup of coffee should be sustainable, ethical, and free from child labour and slavery.

Love is in the air… and so is the smell of sustainably brewed coffee ☕💚 This Valentine’s Day, fall for something that loves the planet back. Ethical beans. Thoughtful sourcing. A cup that cares.

Coffee farmers face rising climate risk and shrinking value share. Real resilience means living incomes, deforestation-free supply chains, and shared responsibility across the value chain.

Specialty coffee needs transparency. Kaffea-X is working to build it. ☕📊

New analysis from Business & Human Rights Centre reveals agrifood companies are failing to address forced labour in their supply chains. Companies need to act urgently: engage with workers, ensure responsible purchasing & provide remedy for harm. https://bit.ly/4thfYYr

Starbucks says its coffee is “99% ethically sourced.” A new CICTAR report says the company shifts profits to Switzerland instead of producer countries — an estimated US$1.3B over a decade. Farmers get little. Switzerland gets revenue. Starbucks profits Ethical for whom?

Stingless bees just proved they can raise arabica yields by 67% — even on farms with past pesticide use. Bees are doing everything they can to save coffee. The industry should stop making bees’ job harder with pesticides that threaten the very pollinators keeping it alive.

Coffee workers in Brazil protested in São Paulo against labour conditions comparable to slavery, calling on Starbucks to take responsibility for abuses across their coffee supply chains. www.band.com.br/agro/noticia...

New CICTAR report shows Starbucks shifts global coffee profits to Switzerland via an 18% mark‑up, moving an estimated US$1.3B over a decade. Meanwhile, little support reaches farmers. A clear case of profit extraction from the Global South.

Did you know the chemicals used to protect coffee plants are harming the people behind your cup? A new study shows fungicides widely used against coffee leaf rust pose serious health risks to farmworkers, with impacts extending to their spouses. Safe coffee starts with safe working conditions.

What if coffee waste could help grow food? Researchers in Spain found that used coffee grounds can be turned into fertilizer for greenhouse crops. When applied to cucumbers, it improved taste and increased minerals like iron and zinc. A low-cost, circular alternative to synthetic fertilizers 🌍

Coffee is not just a drink. Behind many beans are cleared forests and exploited workers hidden in global supply chains. Ethical sourcing should not be optional. It should be the standard. ☕🌍

Your morning coffee should not come at the cost of forests or human lives. 🌱☕ Coffee is the sixth largest driver of tropical deforestation globally. On the other hand, Shade-grown, agroforestry coffee protects biodiversity, stores carbon, and supports farmer livelihoods.

Most “paper” coffee cups hide plastic and end up in landfill ☕🚯 Seaweed-based, home-compostable cups offer a real alternative 🌱 https://www.newfoodmagazine.com/news/261691/notpla-brings-sustainable-seaweed-based-food-packaging-back-to-imperial-college-london/

When coffee is grown alongside trees, it store carbon, protect soils, conserve water, & support farmer livelihoods. Our new Coffee Agroforestry E-Library brings this research together in 1 place—making it easier for farmers, advocates, and policymakers. coffeewatch.org/new-coffee-a...

A hidden part of coffee’s footprint goes unnoticed ☕⚡ Most emissions tied to espresso machines come from the energy they use every day. New life cycle assessments show that up to 96% of emissions happen during operation. https://www.gcrmag.com/the-new-key-to-creating-a-sustainable-coffee-industry/

Trade deals should not poison people or the planet. The EU–Mercosur agreement risks accelerating deforestation, increasing emissions, and allowing toxic pesticides—banned in the EU—to be used abroad and re-enter through imported food.
