Save Tropical Forests and Drink Your Coffee, Too

Priscila Chaverri, PhD

and University of Maryland Mycology Professor
The livelihoods of thousands of families depend on coffee production in Latin America. Climate change has had a negative impact on this crop by making coffee plants susceptible to diseases and drought. But researchers are exploring “probiotics” found in old-growth tropical forest trees that could protect the coffee plants, the communities that depend on them, and your morning cup of Joe.
