Coffee has been grown and harvested in Palermo, Sicily, in what is described as the first commercially produced Italian coffee. Growers say warming temperatures have made coffee cultivation viable on the island, a shift that signals how climate change is redrawing the map of European farming. The story has drawn attention as a striking example of Mediterranean agriculture adapting to hotter conditions.
Why now: Rising temperatures are enabling crops like coffee to grow in regions where it was previously impossible, making this a visible marker of climate change.
