The future of coffee is now.

Coffee is threatened by climate change. HyCoffee pioneers the production and import of climate-resilient coffee.

Climate change has devastating impacts on coffee production.

Coffee farmers are already struggling with rising temperatures, extreme weather events, shifting seasons, increased occurrence of pests and diseases and fluctuating commodity prices.

These hazards will worsen due to climate change. By 2050, the global area suitable for coffee production is expected to reduce by half.

Coffee quality and availability will deteriorate. This puts the livelihoods of millions of coffee farmers at risk.

There are 130 known coffee species, many of which are not commercially used. Yet.

To prepare for climate change we must tap into the genetic riches of wild coffee. By choosing wild and hybrid coffees, you can play a key part in creating a fairer, more diverse and resilient coffee sector.

Our projects promote growing, processing and roasting of wild and hybrid coffees:

HyCoffee partners with scientists, farmers, importers and roasters to make climate-resilient coffee a reality. Our projects are backed by scientific evidence and always put the farmers first, drawing on their unique knowledge of the land and coffee plant.
