Coffee plants are seen at the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation experimental farm in Brazil in 2022. Coffee production in Brazil is leading to deforestation, a nonprofit group says.

In Brazil's coffee-producing areas, more than 42,000 square miles of forest have disappeared over about two decades, says Coffee Watch. Deforestation leads to drought, which harms crop yields.
