Brazilian coffee production destroyed 737,000 hectares of forest from 2002 to 2023, threatening yields and prompting calls for action.
A new report reveals that coffee production in Brazil caused the loss of at least 737,000 hectares of forest between 2002 and 2023, primarily in the Cerrado and Atlantic Forest biomes, with major impacts in Minas Gerais.
Using satellite data, the study links this deforestation to climate disruptions like droughts and declining soil moisture, which threaten coffee yields.
Despite sustainability pledges by major buyers, deforestation persists, and regenerative practices remain underused.
The report urges an end to new forest loss, land restoration, and wider adoption of agroforestry to protect Brazil’s coffee industry amid growing regulatory pressure, including potential delays to the EU’s deforestation-free supply chain law.
