Foreword
The world is changing. The coffee industry is facing major challenges, largely shaped by climate change, changing consumer habits, sustainability and digitalisation.
Our industry must find answers that will allow us to continue producing coffee sustainably in the future. Without true sustainability, there is no future for coffee farmers - without adaptation to climate change, there is no coffee cultivation.
Natural scientists from all over the world and all fields will present the latest findings on climate change, sustainable cultivation, consumption and digitalisation and show solutions and applicable concepts.
The International Coffee Convention is aimed at all decision-makers in the coffee industry, farmers, roasters and the trade. Together with experts and colleagues, we want to highlight challenges and offer solutions.
It is time for real, science-based solutions that answer the challenges of the coffee industry.
Focus/Main topics
Experience presentations by international experts on the topics of climate change, consumption, sustainability & digitalisation.
Learn all about the status quo in the coffee industry, the latest findings in science and research and applicable solutions for all those involved in coffee cultivation, trade, processing and preparation.
Where is coffee cultivation heading in the face of climate change? What does biodiversity mean and how can it help to make cultivation more sustainable? What changes in consumer behaviour must the industry adapt to? How can coffee cultivation be made truly sustainable? What do coffee by-products and their production and processing mean in this context? What solutions and applications from and with coffee by-products already exist today, and which are available in the short term? What is the current status of novel food regulation and what does it mean for industry and trade?
Experience and discuss these and other questions with colleagues and experts in a unique, high-profile event in Mannheim. Become part of a modern and sustainable coffee future. Get answers to the coffee industry‘s questions of tomorrow.
