Starbucks adds two new coffee innovation farms located in Guatemala and Costa Rica with future farm investments in Africa and Asia.

Starbucks Thursday said in an effort to protect the future of coffee against climate-change impacts, it is buying two new coffee farms in Guatemala and Costa Rica. It plans to buy more farms in Africa and Asia.

The coffee giant buys 3% of the world's coffee supply, which has been pressured in recent years due to extreme weather.

Starbucks Corp. is buying two new research farms that will test everything from drones to microbes as it seeks to make coffee more resilient to climate change, which has already constricted availability and driven up prices.

As the effects of climate change continue to batter many countries worldwide, Starbucks (SBUX) is committed to protecting its coffee supply from natural disasters.

Starbucks says it bought coffee farms in Central America because of climate change fears. The beverage and food corporation said it's trying own more farms to better 'climate-proof' its operations.
