Germany addresses climate impacts on beer industry with hop research and education.
Germany is addressing climate change's impact on its beer industry through education and research. The Society of Hop Research is developing new hop varieties that resist drought, heat, and diseases, ensuring sustainable yields. These varieties are integrated into educational programs at universities and vocational schools. Experts warn that without adaptation, hop yields in Europe could decline by 4-18% by 2050, threatening the quality of traditional German beers.
