When we think of the plants that are important to us, we might think right past the magical shrub that gives us coffee berries.  Coffee underpins major economies in the world, has an interesting history, and its sustainable production is threatened.

We’re joined by Hanna Neuschwander from World Coffee Research.  Hanna describes what coffee is, its natural history, species in the wild, and breeding efforts to improve coffee.  We also discuss the major challenges that stand to harm coffee production in the future.
