Farmers seeking to expand have to cut down old trees. In addition, many old coffee farms are not producing as many beans because of warming temperatures linked to climate change. Cutting down old trees in order to plant new crops or build homes is called deforestation. The effects of coffee production on the environment have led one company to create a “beanless” version of the drink. Atomo hopes coffee shops will consider offering its beanless coffee to buyers who show interest in the product.
