Global Warming and the Effects of Climate Change on Coffee Production

This chapter discusses the main consequences of global warming and its direct effects on climate change and agriculture, especially with regard to coffee production (Coffea sp.). Using data from the scenarios of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the effect of climate change and the impact on areas that are currently considered suitable for coffee crop production were analyzed in a technical-scientific manner and an extensive edaphoclimate database. The results obtained and presented throughout this chapter are, at the very least, impressive and give us a macroscale view of future changes in the world’s agricultural landscape, since such data are expansive for diagnosis in other regions of the world with predominance of tropical and subtropical climate.
