‘We’re just trying to adapt’: Coffee farmers face down climate change <em>For one of the world’s most important crops, a project supported by Conservation International is grounds for optimism.</em>

Rising temperatures, erratic rainfall and disease are threatening coffee — and the millions of farmers who grow it.

But with the right tools — like climate-resilient trees and sustainable practices — farmers are adapting to a warming world.

Thrilled to share that Conservation International’s team won the Microsoft hashtag#Hack4Good30 challenge with our AI-powered restoration tool, CIERA!

CIERA was built to solve a real problem: how to quickly identify where restoration will have the greatest impact for people, nature, and climate.
