Episode Description

In Part 3 of this 5-part series with Brazilian Coffee Agronomist, Jonas Leme Ferraresso, we explore how genetics, irrigation, and modern farming technology are shaping coffee production in Brazil.

Farmers are investing heavily in new varieties, irrigation systems, and inputs to maintain yields, but these solutions come with increased costs and new risks.

Jonas explains why higher-yield varieties require more resources, why irrigation is expanding, and why genetic innovation is not moving fast enough to keep up with climate change.

This episode asks an uncomfortable question:

Are we solving the problem, or making it more expensive to survive?
