question 21 of 30
on a shade - grown coffee plantation, smaller coffee trees grow in the shade of other forest trees. why is shade - grown coffee more sustainable than coffee grown in full sun?
a. it provides habitat for forest birds.
b. it produces more coffee beans.
c. it reduces forest biodiversity.
d. it provides greater profits for farmers.

Explanation:

Shade - grown coffee allows forest trees to remain, which provides habitat for forest birds. Full - sun coffee often involves clearing forests, reducing bird habitats. It doesn't produce more beans, doesn't reduce biodiversity (in fact, it helps maintain it), and doesn't necessarily provide greater profits.

Answer:

A. It provides habitat for forest birds.
