Biodiversity – the diversity within and between species (of animals, plants, fungi and micro organisms) and the diversity of ecosystems these species create – offers a huge and critical array of ecosystem services on which people and nature co-depend. One thing I’ve come to appreciate is the relationship between high-quality coffees, healthy ecosystems and thriving communities. Biodiversity supports the ecological services that the farmers, their coffee crops, the communities and ultimately all of us depend on. These services range from soil regeneration, water replenishment, pest control...

Biodiversity loss is being driven by a range of pressures, many arising from industrial activities, energy production and agriculture. AMBITIOUS NEW...
