Italy harvests its first homegrown coffee in Palermo
Original: Eurones: Palermo, first coffee grown and harvested in Italy: warmer climate is changing farming https://www. euronews.co
Farmers in Palermo, Sicily have grown and harvested Italy's first commercially produced coffee, according to Euronews. The crop was made possible by rising temperatures, which have turned parts of Sicily suitable for a plant once confined to the tropics. It is being cited as a striking example of how climate change is redrawing the map of European agriculture, with growers experimenting in crops previously impossible locally.
Why now: Climate change enabling tropical crops like coffee in Italy is a vivid, surprising sign of shifting farming conditions.
