Climate change and raw material cultivation: a challenge for beverage production

How climate change affects the cultivation of beverage raw materials

Global warming is changing the environment of many agricultural beverage raw materials. However, the challenge of stopping or even reversing climate change is a long-term one, whereas the agricultural production of raw materials can hardly wait that long. Plant breeders are now using genetic, marker-driven processes to create new varieties that can thrive under the new climate conditions.
