Green Coffee's Environmental Impact - A Call for Consistency and Transparency

A systematic review of 34 studies on green coffee production reveals inconsistencies in methodologies and reporting, prompting calls for standardized Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) to improve transparency and sustainability practices. The review, conducted by CIRAD and published by ISIC, highlights the need for detailed and consistent documentation throughout the seed-to-cup chain. The study also notes a disproportionate focus on arabica coffee over robusta. CIRAD has proposed a roadmap for better LCA practices, aiming to support sustainable coffee production.
