• It has no effect on pests

• It encourages pests like leaf rust and beetles

• It eliminates pests completely

What might be a long-term effect of climate change on the coffee industry?

• Decreased coffee prices

• Catastrophic impact on coffee production

• Unlimited farm relocation options

• Increased coffee quality

What is necessary to ensure the continued production of high-quality coffee?

• Ignoring environmental changes

• Increasing coffee consumption

• Careful attention to environmental impact
