Robusta coffee carbon footprint

Carbon Footprint of Robusta Coffee: What Matters Most?

The carbon footprint of Robusta coffee depends on the whole production and supply system, not the species name alone. Fertilizer, irrigation energy, land-use change, yield, processing, drying, transport, roasting, and brewing can all matter. Buyers should ask for farm- and supply-chain evidence rather than assume Canephora is automatically lower carbon because it can tolerate warmer conditions.
