My name is Maja and I’m a Danish born woman crazy beyond passionate about everything coffee. I have written about all aspects of coffee for over 25 years from 60 coffee producing countries across the world.
Some good news also came thanks to the efforts of the Colombian coffee organisations and the scientist than are working in the new breed for Colombian Coffee trough mapping the genome of its coffee plants to facilitate the development of varieties that are better adapted to climate change.

Hi Rafael, yes the FNC has done a fantastic job all around and all the new reports of the Arabica genome mapping is very interesting, it was a huge part of the overall conference theme at ASIC just now. All this said, climate change is only going to make it more complicated for producers and there is no easy or quick fix to this.
