Coffee—from Plant to Cup

Dear Colleagues,

Coffee is a greatly appreciated beverage, with several health benefits. Besides, this tropical crop generates wealth and regional development, but its entire chain of value has a worldwide repercussion. Coffee efficient production depends on technical and scientific knowledge, from initial stages before planting up to the process of harvest, post-harvest procedures, including storage and industrial bean processing. Climate changes is believed to threaten this crop sustainability, therefore studies regarding the potential impacts at all levels are needed.

In this context, this special edition aims at to provide high quality knowledge delivered by world-class scientists in coffee research. Therefore, submission of high quality and innovative studies involving coffee, from planting to processing, such as coffee growing and crop management, physiology, biochemistry, breeding, diseases, harvest and processing, as well as related topics, are encouraged.
