"Coffee accounts for just 1% of global agriculture-driven deforestation, which translates to about 1.2 million hectares over the 2001-2022 study period, or approximately 55,000 hectares per year."
"Despite its modest 1% estimate, coffee's importance as a traded crop is significant, having overtaken beef as Sweden's largest imported driver of Amazon deforestation."
"The DeDuCE model is described as the most comprehensive global survey of its kind, tracking commodity-driven deforestation across 184 commodities and 179 countries from 2001 to 2022."
"Coffee, cocoa, and rubber combined account for less than 5% of agriculture-driven deforestation, while staple crops like maize and rice drive more deforestation globally."
Coffee's contribution to global agriculture-driven deforestation is 1%, translating to approximately 1.2 million hectares from 2001 to 2022. Despite its small share, coffee's role as a traded crop is significant, as evidenced by its status as Sweden's largest imported driver of Amazon deforestation. The DeDuCE model, developed by researchers at Chalmers University, tracks deforestation across 184 commodities and aims to assist in reducing deforestation. Other staple crops like maize, rice, and cassava contribute more to deforestation than coffee.
