The Future of Coffee

On December 9, 2022, a highly insightful livestream was hosted by Qoffee Qulture iin collaboration with Suedhang Kaffee 

Qoffee Qulture is dedicated to raising awareness about structural issues in the coffee industry, particularly those affecting coffee farmers in producing countries. Through donations and the voluntary work of its 42 members, the organization runs projects aimed at improving the living conditions of coffee farmers.

Their work focuses on empowerment, stabilizing income sources, improving coffee quality (and thereby enabling higher prices), and mitigating the effects of climate change on coffee cultivation.

The recent talk on the impact of climate change was especially compelling. What made it even more emotional for us was realizing how much untapped potential lies in expanding the reach of this message. The key takeaway is that climate change does not only affect coffee farmers like Germán, who was featured in the talk, or our partner Magally—it will also have tangible consequences for global coffee production in the near future.

Ultimately, these effects will be felt in our own cups—or in our wallets. Consumers share responsibility, and the causal relationships behind these challenges are far more complex than they may initially appear.

At Dailima, as coffee enthusiasts, we actively participate in the conversation about the future of coffee. We continuously educate ourselves on sustainable packaging, seek synergies to optimize our transport routes, promote social sustainability through direct trade without intermediaries, and advocate for women across the entire value chain. We also collaborate with Qoffee Qulture on a voluntary basis and aim to raise awareness through contributions like this.

We are constantly learning how to better contribute to a sustainable future for coffee. For those interested, we also recommend the Coffea Futurica Podcast by Kaffeemacher.
