Researchers across the U.S. are working together to find ways to control coffee pests and diseases, increase coffee yields, and make coffee production more efficient. For example:
University of Hawaii scientists developed handheld devices that optimize irrigation and automated technology that dries coffee beans using less energy.
University of Missouri scientists assessed how policies, consumer preferences, and the economy affect coffee trade.
Studies at Colorado State University revealed the effects of coffee on the human gut microbiome and overall health.
