Coffee is the most frequently consumed functional beverage world wide. The average daily coffee consumption is increasing. This crop, which plays an important role in the global economy is under great threat from climate change. To with stand the current climate change, farmers have to learn crop cultivation techniques, strategies to protect crops from diseases, and understand which type of seed varieties to use to avoid crop loss. The present review briefly discusses the coffee cultivation techniques, impact of climate changes on coffee production, processing techniques of coffee, and the importance of coffee in our society, including its chemical composition and prevention against, major diseases. Furthermore, the importance and role of advanced nanotechnology along with molecular approaches for coffee crop improvement and facing challenges are explained.

Coffee (
Coffee species are small trees and native to tropical and southern African and tropical Asia. Generally, 1~2 months will take for seed germination and 3~4 years will take to get the plant mature for flowering. The life span of the coffee pants is 80 years with 12 feet in height. Flowers are in white with a good smell. Self-pollination in
India contains so many languages. As per Koppen classification, India comprises a wide range of weather conditions. December-February (winter), March-May (summer), June- September (Rainy season (Monsoon), and October-November (Post monsoon). The average temperature in India is 25~37°C. Altitude is the most important factor for the coffee cultivation process.

By taking coffee so many health benefits can occur that is body relaxation and give extra energy by avoiding stress. Many medicinally important compounds present in coffee include chlorogenic acid, feruloyl quinic acids, various iridoid glycosides, isomers of monoester, diester caffeoylquinic acids, and dioxoanthracene (Banavath et al. 2019; Mondolot et al. 2006). Those chemical components are listed in Table 4 and it protects our body cells from damage by developing antioxidants and it helps to prevent cardiovascular disease, cancers of the kidney, liver, and premenopausal breast.

It plays a crucial role in gastrointestinal, dermatological, cardiovascular, and nervous system (Jae-Hoonbae et al. 2014; Patay et al. 2016). It also decreases memory loss, type-2 diabetes and protect from Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease (Juliana et al. 2019; Monteiro et al. 2012; Pourshahidi et al. 2016). Some important benefits are there to socialize with coffee those are many people’s start the coffee shops for public interest hence, employment source can be generate. Coffee will give instant energy to public workers, who were involved in heavy works and a coffee shop makes a great place to chat about their problems and solutions with close friends and neighbors while drinking the coffee (https://www.coffeeandhealth.org/all-about-coffee/coffee-society/ ). Generally, it offers an environment which makes everyone feel happy and comfortable so that neighbors maintain good relationships with each other. It helps who tired with more work tension in the office, they will get extra energy and mind relax by drink cup of coffee so that work will become fast (https://www.streetdirectory.com/food_editorials/beverages/coffee/coffee_its_silent_role_in_our_society.html ; https://www.kibin.com/essay-examples/the-significance-of-coffee-in-society-today-ZPBXb8P1).
Coffee plants can grow at low lands, and at high lands, altitude ranges between 1400 and 1800 meters (Da matta & Ramalho, 2006; Davis et al. 2012; Dias et al. 2007; Holger et al. 2010). It needs 150 to 250 cm rainfall with a temperature between 15 to 28°C and it needs both moderate sunlight and shade. It doesn't tolerate strong sunshine, snowfall, temperature above 32°C. At plants' growth stage needs shade however at flowering and fruit set stage needs sunlight (not direct sun) (Davis et al. 2012; De camargo 2010). At the fruit ripening stage, dry weather is most essential otherwise fruits get damage. The plants need nutritionally rich and sandy loam & soil moist which rapidly store the water and drain excess water from the soil. These plants grow vertically, perennial bush with green foliage and glossy appearance. Majorly grown on northern and eastern hills slopes at elevations from 600 to 1,600 meters above sea level for the less exposed to strong sunlight and south- west monsoon winds.
Healthy and well-developed fully ripe berries were harvested from specially identified plants to use as seed. After harvest the fruits, soak in water so that less quality seed fruits get float on water. After discarding the floated fruits, the weight and good fruits are de-pulped, sieved then mixed with sieved wood ash and dry under shade (Krishnaraju 2008). Later allow for seeds grading to remove all cut, triangular, and damaged beans. Before Sow in small pockets, seeds are treated with Agrosan-B or organomercurial compound to prevent fungal infection and Azospirillum and phosphobacterium to avoid bacterial diseases to the root system (Krishnaraju 2008). Seeds are sown in December- January months. After sowing the seeds in pockets, those pockets has to cover with a paddy straw to avoid the evaporation of water and for shade. Watering daily is important to protect the plants from direct sunlight by an overhead pandal till 40cm height of plantlets. (http://www.agritech.tnau.ac.in/horticulture/horti_plantation%20crops_coffee.html). Later Plant lets are transferred to nursery (Generally coffee plants will develop by seeds or vegetative propagation). 3-4 years will take to develop plants from seeds to first flowering. Development of the coffee plants by seeds are taking more time than the vegetative production because seed germination takes more time although ratio of the seeds germination are less. Hence, most of the people follow vegetative propagation (Krishnaraju 2008; http://www.agritech.tnau.ac.in/horticulture/horti_plantation%20crops_coffee.html).
After risen the plantlets by seed or vegetative propagation, remaining steps were taken under nursery conditions. Plantlets were transferred in the polythene or a small handmade bag contains 30-40 kgs of well rotten compost along with 2 kgs of finely sieved agriculture lime, and 10 g of rock phosphate. Monthly twice, urea applies is necessary for the strong and healthy growth of the plants. 10% of the plants may die, because due to not proper acclimatization and sensitivity of the plants. The remaining 90% of the plants survive healthily. Eventually, plant price can decide based on the healthy and grade (height) of the plant (http://www.fao.org/3/ae939e/ae939e04.htm;Krishnaraju, 2008). The generally used nutrients and fertilizers for the coffee crop were shown in Table 2.

Sandy loam soil is suitable for coffee growth and the soil pH of 5-6 is preferable. The land has to prepare by giving 4 or 5 plowings and harrowing to bring the soil to fine tilth stage. After summer rain, dugs have to make by the distance of 1.25-2.5 meter (Reddy 2019; Krishnaraju 2008). The pits are left open for a week for weathering. Before planting, it is advisable to add the soil micro and macronutrients along with the phosphorous, lime, and 500 g of rock phosphate have to mix with soil in the pits. Generally silver oak, Dadaps, Ficus, Albizia, Led back, and Gliricidia maculate trees are used for shading purposes. These coffee plants cultivation not only under wild tree shade, but they can also grow under horticultural plants like big Mango, Jock fruit, and
Irrigation depends on the type of soil and presence of moisture level in the soils. Generally, 4 types of irrigation methods are followed by farmers. Surface irrigation, drip irrigation, sprinkler irrigation, and Perimeter irrigation system. When farmers cultivate on the plane lands they will use drip irrigation and sprinkler irrigation. Cultivating under shade houses they will follow perimeter irrigation. Every 5 to 8 days interval watering is good because more wetness can result in fungal disease attacks to plant roots (https://www.agrifarming.in/coffee-growing-information-beginners). To avoid the weed Dalapon and Amino salt 2, 4-D sodium salt 20% weedicide can be used. Generally, mulching technique can be use to prevent the weed. This technique can make enrich the soil moisture and improves the soil texture.
Mulching provides many benefits to the farmers; it prevents water evaporation from the soil, easy to weed control, and develops a microclimate near the plant root zone. Mainly, the plants grow healthily and protect the root system from climate change. Moreover, it acts as a barrier to soil pathogens and helps to reduce soil erosion. Fertilizers which we use for crop development will not become waste by uptake the weeds eventually, crop will give a good yield. More over the crop field will be clean (Mwango et al. 2015; Nzeyimana et al. 2017; Nzeyimana et al. 2020; Thankamani et al. 2016; Wu et al. 2016).
Farmers follow 4 steps of harvesting technique. Harvesting starts when the coffee cherries are bright red and glossy. Fly picking: This is small-scale picking, early ripe berries only can harvest in this step. Main picking: Fully ripened and completely formed berries can harvest in this step. Stripping: All the berries left on the plant irrespective of the ripe were harvest in this step. Cleaning: involves collecting the all fruits which have been dropped during harvesting (Mesfin et al. 2019; https://www.coffeemasters.com/coffee-101/harvesting-of-coffee/). After harvest, the ripened and unripe fruits have to be separate properly to get the good quality of the coffee beans. However, fruits have to wash three to four times properly than allow drying under moderate sunlight for two days later grading should be done based on size and shape with the help of a rotating sieve. Carefully remove the beans from the coffee fruits by machinery and allow for dry. After proper drying, allow the beans to pack and store in moisture less, clean, and well-ventilated storerooms. Eventually, these packed beans will transport to coffee roaster mills. Initially coffee beans will be green in color, beany and grassy aroma with not smell like coffee. The roasting process can be decides the coffee taste, odor, and aroma. Different roast profiles will give the different tastes of the coffee, small batch roasting of green beans will conduct at home for personal consumption. Even after the term of the 20th century, it was more common for at-home coffee drinkers to roast their coffee in their residence. Machine roasting is a very accurate method than the other methods because we can set the exact temperature for roasting and the rotation of beans takes place uniformly. Every few seconds once the beans have to check by experts for the perfect color and taste. When the desired result is achieved, roasting will stop and allow beans to become cool. Eventually, packing technology is designed to protect and preserve the essential flavors and aromas of the beans with vacuum package for safety purposes. Light roasting temperature 180°C-205°C (356°F-401°F), medium roasting temperature 210°C (410°F)-220°C (428°F), Medium dark roasting temperature somewhat spicy 225°C (437°F)-230°C (446 °F) and dark roasting temperature 240°C (464°F) 250°C (482°F) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffee_roasting).
Coffee plants produce many by-products and their uses are mentioned below.
Flower
Coffee plants produce white, multi-flowered and cymosely inflorescences. Every plant produces 30,000-40,000 flowers per year and it contains about 1 g casein /100 g dry weight. Through the green process, the flower can use for the production of bioactive compounds, melanoidins, and bio-sugars (Nguyen et al. 2019) and Coffee blossom tea can prepare with dried flowers (Tizian et al. 2020).
Leaf
The leaf contains green in color, in some areas consumed it as leaf infusion as traditional food and it contains many secondary metabolites (Campa et al. 2018; Jyotshna et al. 2016; Patay et al. 2016; Ross 2005) and used as a coffee leaf tea (Tizian et al. 2020).
Cherry pulp
These cherry pulps are used for the preparation of jam, juice, and jelly. The pulp flour can be used for the preparation of pieces of bread and sauces (Naidu et al. 2004; Ramirez and Jaramillo 2011).
Cherry husks
Cherry husks can also be used for the cultivation of microorganisms based on their high fiber content and citric acid and gibberellic acid can be prepare by fermentation process (Tizian et al. 2020).
To provide suitable coffee products for the growing population in today's society, plants have to grow for which will overcome the biotic and abiotic stress. During these days, agricultural crops getting damage is mostly due to soil-born phytopathogens, insects, pests, and parasites. The using of fungicides and pesticides to protect the plants from disease is indirectly contaminating the soil and surrounding environment. Hence, to overcome these problems, fertilizers containing nanoparticles (NPs) made by nanotechnology can be used to protect the plants, soil, and environment. Wang et al. 2020 have been used NPs to cultivate coffee plants. The applying of NP-fertilizers to coffee plants create an environment conducive to plant growth near the plant root system and these NPs passed in through the root system to influence biological responses i.e. signal transduction and nutrient absorption were observed. Similarly, Mahendra et al. 2018 was used copper NPs contain fertilizers to protect against fungal diseases like blight, downy, powdery mildew, and rust in coffee plants. Same copper Nps were used on coffee, Soyabean, and eggplants to protect from fungal diseases (Sung-Hyun et al. 2021). Recently, coffee extracts had been used to synthesize very small silver NPs (Dawadi et al. 2021). Nanotechnolgy based agricultural importance were shown in Figure 1.
In 2013 Van et al. was grown some coffee plants under greenhouse conditions. After 8 weeks, he separated some plants and allowed them to grow some plants with normal water and some plants with chitosan NPs with concentrations of 10, 20, 30, and 50ppm. Eventually, he observed 10ppm concentrated plants exhibited good morphological and physiological parameters than the control plants. Similarly, these chitosan NPs were exhibited good growth, enhanced biochemical (Antioxidative enzyme levels) parameters and defense mechanisms in Vicia-feba seedlings & maize plants than the control plants (Abdel-Aziz 2019; Kumaraswamy et al. 2019). Later Lorenzo et al. (2019) applied Zn NPs and ZnSO4 separetly to one-year-old coffee
The NPs was used not only on coffee plants, it also used in vegetables and fruit crops (Sung-Hyun et al. 2021). Moreover, the prepared silver and gold NPs from green and roasted coffee beans were used in the pharmaceutical industry, diagnostic medicines, and inflammatory gel preparations to reduce the antioxidatives, obesity, inflammatory reaction, and on other health issues (Antonio et al. 2017; Baghaienezhad et al. 2020; Dhand et al. 2016; Nurman et al. 2019; Soesilowati et al. 2020; Sunoqrot et al. 2021; Wanderson et al. 2019).
Some coffee plants were (IAPAR59 and Rubi) grown under drought and normal conditions, after a few days the molecular changes in the shoot apices were studied. Interestingly, the
Coffee plants have a complete genome sequence of 710 Mb in
Coffee crops are affecting by diseases and causing severe damage to the farmers hence, researchers developed markers to screen the disease-resistant plants. Gichuru et al. (2008) developed a sat 207 and sat 235 markers from 57 SSR and 31 AFLP primers to detect the coffee berry disease (CBD) resistance plants in hypocotyls and young seedlings. Hibrido de Timor (HdT), Rume Sudan, and K7 coffee varieties have a specific gene for tolerance to CBD was characterized by using the 22 RAPD markers (Charles et al. 1997). SSR markers sat 235 and sat 207 were used to find the CBD and coffee rust disease (CRD) these markers are closely associated with the
Coffee leaf rust (CLR) diseases also causing severe damage to the crop hence, molecular markers have been developed to find the resistant plants. Genetic diversity was checked in F2 generation plants by using 33 AFLP and 13 SSR markers which showed high polymorphism later same plants were allowed to bioassay with

CRISPR / cas9 is an amazing, fast, and accurate usable technology in crop improvement. This technology has already made the genetic changes required in many crops to be resistant to viruses, fungi, bacteria, abiotic stress tolerance, nutritionally rich and ornamentally beautiful plants. In
Global warming is affecting every natural resource on this planet. Coffee cultivation is facing more problems by increasing the global warming. If some steps are taken to grow more trees in hilly areas the rain will likely fall on time, as a result, the climate temperature effect can decrease and ground water levels will be increased. Due to the presence of large trees on the hilly areas, cultivation of coffee plants will become easy. Hence, coffee plants can grow healthily and give good yields.
As the rain falls more than necessary, disease vector populations will become more so that, coffee plants get affect for more diseases finally, farmers and coffee industries fall in trouble (Bett et al. 2017). Most of the farmers are not able to spray pesticides for the diseases (Bebber 2015). There is robust evidence that pests and diseases have already responded to climate change. According to Sami and Peterson estimations 50% of insects can be get change by 2100 under current GHG (Green House Gas) emissions trajectories. For example, Climate change influences on the global potential distribution of bluetongue virus (BTV), which is spread by biting
This type of problems can be overcome to some extent by supplying genetically modified plants (GM) which are biotech plants to get rid of such problems. Current crop development technology must be used to provide food for the growing population that can withstand this climate change, disease, and other consequences (Ahmad and Mukhtar 2017). Thus the percentage of farmers who cultivate coffee can be increase. Similarly, it is better to use poly vinyl houses for drying coffee beans. To have a healthy future we need to look for sustainable coffee options that will thrive in all kinds of weather conditions. Doing so does not harm society and we will get the full benefits of the drink by making coffee from sustainable and quality coffee beans so that, justice is will be done to everyone who involved in the coffee supply chain. This is the right step in the direction of providing a better life for future generations. Therefore, coffee growers need to adopt methods for cultivating cytoplasmic genes of different diploid species as cultivars to withstand disease attacks and sustain production in a changing environment (Santa Ram 2018). As per the above discussion it is advisable to use genetically modified plants and fertilizers containing nanoparticles to give better yield in present world scenario.
Coffee crop giving more economic support to the countries hence it is needed to protect the crop from various aspects. we have discussed how to grow coffee plants from seed stage to plants and required salts in the soil, and favorable conditions to the plants for healthy growth. While harvesting the beans more precautions have to take otherwise farmers will be getting more income loss. Hence, the precautions have been discussed from the harvesting step to packaging. We hope these techniques are useful for all farmers and mini industries. Due to more fungal and bacterial diseases crop loss is increasing every year hence here we explained the methods to prevent common fungal and bacterial diseases of coffee plants, along with their causative agents. Nanotechnology is the new technology in the agriculture field. We explained the uses and benefits of different nanoparticle- fertilizers and nanopesticides to increase coffee production by overcoming the biotic and abiotic issues. Although we discussed polymorphisms with the different molecular markers in coffee plants, various markers need to develop for selection of disease-restance and other traits.

Coffee is the most frequently consumed functional beverage world wide. The average daily coffee consumption is increasing. This crop, which plays an important role in the global economy is under great threat from climate change. To with stand the current climate change, farmers have to learn crop cultivation techniques, strategies to protect crops from diseases, and understand which type of seed varieties to use to avoid crop loss. The present review briefly discusses the coffee cultivation techniques, impact of climate changes on coffee production, processing techniques of coffee, and the importance of coffee in our society, including its chemical composition and prevention against, major diseases. Furthermore, the importance and role of advanced nanotechnology along with molecular approaches for coffee crop improvement and facing challenges are explained.

Coffee (
Coffee species are small trees and native to tropical and southern African and tropical Asia. Generally, 1~2 months will take for seed germination and 3~4 years will take to get the plant mature for flowering. The life span of the coffee pants is 80 years with 12 feet in height. Flowers are in white with a good smell. Self-pollination in
India contains so many languages. As per Koppen classification, India comprises a wide range of weather conditions. December-February (winter), March-May (summer), June- September (Rainy season (Monsoon), and October-November (Post monsoon). The average temperature in India is 25~37°C. Altitude is the most important factor for the coffee cultivation process.

By taking coffee so many health benefits can occur that is body relaxation and give extra energy by avoiding stress. Many medicinally important compounds present in coffee include chlorogenic acid, feruloyl quinic acids, various iridoid glycosides, isomers of monoester, diester caffeoylquinic acids, and dioxoanthracene (Banavath et al. 2019; Mondolot et al. 2006). Those chemical components are listed in Table 4 and it protects our body cells from damage by developing antioxidants and it helps to prevent cardiovascular disease, cancers of the kidney, liver, and premenopausal breast.

It plays a crucial role in gastrointestinal, dermatological, cardiovascular, and nervous system (Jae-Hoonbae et al. 2014; Patay et al. 2016). It also decreases memory loss, type-2 diabetes and protect from Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease (Juliana et al. 2019; Monteiro et al. 2012; Pourshahidi et al. 2016). Some important benefits are there to socialize with coffee those are many people’s start the coffee shops for public interest hence, employment source can be generate. Coffee will give instant energy to public workers, who were involved in heavy works and a coffee shop makes a great place to chat about their problems and solutions with close friends and neighbors while drinking the coffee (https://www.coffeeandhealth.org/all-about-coffee/coffee-society/ ). Generally, it offers an environment which makes everyone feel happy and comfortable so that neighbors maintain good relationships with each other. It helps who tired with more work tension in the office, they will get extra energy and mind relax by drink cup of coffee so that work will become fast (https://www.streetdirectory.com/food_editorials/beverages/coffee/coffee_its_silent_role_in_our_society.html ; https://www.kibin.com/essay-examples/the-significance-of-coffee-in-society-today-ZPBXb8P1).
Coffee plants can grow at low lands, and at high lands, altitude ranges between 1400 and 1800 meters (Da matta & Ramalho, 2006; Davis et al. 2012; Dias et al. 2007; Holger et al. 2010). It needs 150 to 250 cm rainfall with a temperature between 15 to 28°C and it needs both moderate sunlight and shade. It doesn't tolerate strong sunshine, snowfall, temperature above 32°C. At plants' growth stage needs shade however at flowering and fruit set stage needs sunlight (not direct sun) (Davis et al. 2012; De camargo 2010). At the fruit ripening stage, dry weather is most essential otherwise fruits get damage. The plants need nutritionally rich and sandy loam & soil moist which rapidly store the water and drain excess water from the soil. These plants grow vertically, perennial bush with green foliage and glossy appearance. Majorly grown on northern and eastern hills slopes at elevations from 600 to 1,600 meters above sea level for the less exposed to strong sunlight and south- west monsoon winds.
Healthy and well-developed fully ripe berries were harvested from specially identified plants to use as seed. After harvest the fruits, soak in water so that less quality seed fruits get float on water. After discarding the floated fruits, the weight and good fruits are de-pulped, sieved then mixed with sieved wood ash and dry under shade (Krishnaraju 2008). Later allow for seeds grading to remove all cut, triangular, and damaged beans. Before Sow in small pockets, seeds are treated with Agrosan-B or organomercurial compound to prevent fungal infection and Azospirillum and phosphobacterium to avoid bacterial diseases to the root system (Krishnaraju 2008). Seeds are sown in December- January months. After sowing the seeds in pockets, those pockets has to cover with a paddy straw to avoid the evaporation of water and for shade. Watering daily is important to protect the plants from direct sunlight by an overhead pandal till 40cm height of plantlets. (http://www.agritech.tnau.ac.in/horticulture/horti_plantation%20crops_coffee.html). Later Plant lets are transferred to nursery (Generally coffee plants will develop by seeds or vegetative propagation). 3-4 years will take to develop plants from seeds to first flowering. Development of the coffee plants by seeds are taking more time than the vegetative production because seed germination takes more time although ratio of the seeds germination are less. Hence, most of the people follow vegetative propagation (Krishnaraju 2008; http://www.agritech.tnau.ac.in/horticulture/horti_plantation%20crops_coffee.html).
After risen the plantlets by seed or vegetative propagation, remaining steps were taken under nursery conditions. Plantlets were transferred in the polythene or a small handmade bag contains 30-40 kgs of well rotten compost along with 2 kgs of finely sieved agriculture lime, and 10 g of rock phosphate. Monthly twice, urea applies is necessary for the strong and healthy growth of the plants. 10% of the plants may die, because due to not proper acclimatization and sensitivity of the plants. The remaining 90% of the plants survive healthily. Eventually, plant price can decide based on the healthy and grade (height) of the plant (http://www.fao.org/3/ae939e/ae939e04.htm;Krishnaraju, 2008). The generally used nutrients and fertilizers for the coffee crop were shown in Table 2.

Sandy loam soil is suitable for coffee growth and the soil pH of 5-6 is preferable. The land has to prepare by giving 4 or 5 plowings and harrowing to bring the soil to fine tilth stage. After summer rain, dugs have to make by the distance of 1.25-2.5 meter (Reddy 2019; Krishnaraju 2008). The pits are left open for a week for weathering. Before planting, it is advisable to add the soil micro and macronutrients along with the phosphorous, lime, and 500 g of rock phosphate have to mix with soil in the pits. Generally silver oak, Dadaps, Ficus, Albizia, Led back, and Gliricidia maculate trees are used for shading purposes. These coffee plants cultivation not only under wild tree shade, but they can also grow under horticultural plants like big Mango, Jock fruit, and
Irrigation depends on the type of soil and presence of moisture level in the soils. Generally, 4 types of irrigation methods are followed by farmers. Surface irrigation, drip irrigation, sprinkler irrigation, and Perimeter irrigation system. When farmers cultivate on the plane lands they will use drip irrigation and sprinkler irrigation. Cultivating under shade houses they will follow perimeter irrigation. Every 5 to 8 days interval watering is good because more wetness can result in fungal disease attacks to plant roots (https://www.agrifarming.in/coffee-growing-information-beginners). To avoid the weed Dalapon and Amino salt 2, 4-D sodium salt 20% weedicide can be used. Generally, mulching technique can be use to prevent the weed. This technique can make enrich the soil moisture and improves the soil texture.
Mulching provides many benefits to the farmers; it prevents water evaporation from the soil, easy to weed control, and develops a microclimate near the plant root zone. Mainly, the plants grow healthily and protect the root system from climate change. Moreover, it acts as a barrier to soil pathogens and helps to reduce soil erosion. Fertilizers which we use for crop development will not become waste by uptake the weeds eventually, crop will give a good yield. More over the crop field will be clean (Mwango et al. 2015; Nzeyimana et al. 2017; Nzeyimana et al. 2020; Thankamani et al. 2016; Wu et al. 2016).
Farmers follow 4 steps of harvesting technique. Harvesting starts when the coffee cherries are bright red and glossy. Fly picking: This is small-scale picking, early ripe berries only can harvest in this step. Main picking: Fully ripened and completely formed berries can harvest in this step. Stripping: All the berries left on the plant irrespective of the ripe were harvest in this step. Cleaning: involves collecting the all fruits which have been dropped during harvesting (Mesfin et al. 2019; https://www.coffeemasters.com/coffee-101/harvesting-of-coffee/). After harvest, the ripened and unripe fruits have to be separate properly to get the good quality of the coffee beans. However, fruits have to wash three to four times properly than allow drying under moderate sunlight for two days later grading should be done based on size and shape with the help of a rotating sieve. Carefully remove the beans from the coffee fruits by machinery and allow for dry. After proper drying, allow the beans to pack and store in moisture less, clean, and well-ventilated storerooms. Eventually, these packed beans will transport to coffee roaster mills. Initially coffee beans will be green in color, beany and grassy aroma with not smell like coffee. The roasting process can be decides the coffee taste, odor, and aroma. Different roast profiles will give the different tastes of the coffee, small batch roasting of green beans will conduct at home for personal consumption. Even after the term of the 20th century, it was more common for at-home coffee drinkers to roast their coffee in their residence. Machine roasting is a very accurate method than the other methods because we can set the exact temperature for roasting and the rotation of beans takes place uniformly. Every few seconds once the beans have to check by experts for the perfect color and taste. When the desired result is achieved, roasting will stop and allow beans to become cool. Eventually, packing technology is designed to protect and preserve the essential flavors and aromas of the beans with vacuum package for safety purposes. Light roasting temperature 180°C-205°C (356°F-401°F), medium roasting temperature 210°C (410°F)-220°C (428°F), Medium dark roasting temperature somewhat spicy 225°C (437°F)-230°C (446 °F) and dark roasting temperature 240°C (464°F) 250°C (482°F) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffee_roasting).

Coffee plants produce white, multi-flowered and cymosely inflorescences. Every plant produces 30,000-40,000 flowers per year and it contains about 1 g casein /100 g dry weight. Through the green process, the flower can use for the production of bioactive compounds, melanoidins, and bio-sugars (Nguyen et al. 2019) and Coffee blossom tea can prepare with dried flowers (Tizian et al. 2020).
Leaf
The leaf contains green in color, in some areas consumed it as leaf infusion as traditional food and it contains many secondary metabolites (Campa et al. 2018; Jyotshna et al. 2016; Patay et al. 2016; Ross 2005) and used as a coffee leaf tea (Tizian et al. 2020).
Cherry pulp
These cherry pulps are used for the preparation of jam, juice, and jelly. The pulp flour can be used for the preparation of pieces of bread and sauces (Naidu et al. 2004; Ramirez and Jaramillo 2011).
Cherry husks
Cherry husks can also be used for the cultivation of microorganisms based on their high fiber content and citric acid and gibberellic acid can be prepare by fermentation process (Tizian et al. 2020).
To provide suitable coffee products for the growing population in today's society, plants have to grow for which will overcome the biotic and abiotic stress. During these days, agricultural crops getting damage is mostly due to soil-born phytopathogens, insects, pests, and parasites. The using of fungicides and pesticides to protect the plants from disease is indirectly contaminating the soil and surrounding environment. Hence, to overcome these problems, fertilizers containing nanoparticles (NPs) made by nanotechnology can be used to protect the plants, soil, and environment. Wang et al. 2020 have been used NPs to cultivate coffee plants. The applying of NP-fertilizers to coffee plants create an environment conducive to plant growth near the plant root system and these NPs passed in through the root system to influence biological responses i.e. signal transduction and nutrient absorption were observed. Similarly, Mahendra et al. 2018 was used copper NPs contain fertilizers to protect against fungal diseases like blight, downy, powdery mildew, and rust in coffee plants. Same copper Nps were used on coffee, Soyabean, and eggplants to protect from fungal diseases (Sung-Hyun et al. 2021). Recently, coffee extracts had been used to synthesize very small silver NPs (Dawadi et al. 2021). Nanotechnolgy based agricultural importance were shown in Figure 1.
In 2013 Van et al. was grown some coffee plants under greenhouse conditions. After 8 weeks, he separated some plants and allowed them to grow some plants with normal water and some plants with chitosan NPs with concentrations of 10, 20, 30, and 50ppm. Eventually, he observed 10ppm concentrated plants exhibited good morphological and physiological parameters than the control plants. Similarly, these chitosan NPs were exhibited good growth, enhanced biochemical (Antioxidative enzyme levels) parameters and defense mechanisms in Vicia-feba seedlings & maize plants than the control plants (Abdel-Aziz 2019; Kumaraswamy et al. 2019). Later Lorenzo et al. (2019) applied Zn NPs and ZnSO4 separetly to one-year-old coffee
The NPs was used not only on coffee plants, it also used in vegetables and fruit crops (Sung-Hyun et al. 2021). Moreover, the prepared silver and gold NPs from green and roasted coffee beans were used in the pharmaceutical industry, diagnostic medicines, and inflammatory gel preparations to reduce the antioxidatives, obesity, inflammatory reaction, and on other health issues (Antonio et al. 2017; Baghaienezhad et al. 2020; Dhand et al. 2016; Nurman et al. 2019; Soesilowati et al. 2020; Sunoqrot et al. 2021; Wanderson et al. 2019).
Some coffee plants were (IAPAR59 and Rubi) grown under drought and normal conditions, after a few days the molecular changes in the shoot apices were studied. Interestingly, the
Coffee plants have a complete genome sequence of 710 Mb in
Coffee crops are affecting by diseases and causing severe damage to the farmers hence, researchers developed markers to screen the disease-resistant plants. Gichuru et al. (2008) developed a sat 207 and sat 235 markers from 57 SSR and 31 AFLP primers to detect the coffee berry disease (CBD) resistance plants in hypocotyls and young seedlings. Hibrido de Timor (HdT), Rume Sudan, and K7 coffee varieties have a specific gene for tolerance to CBD was characterized by using the 22 RAPD markers (Charles et al. 1997). SSR markers sat 235 and sat 207 were used to find the CBD and coffee rust disease (CRD) these markers are closely associated with the
Coffee leaf rust (CLR) diseases also causing severe damage to the crop hence, molecular markers have been developed to find the resistant plants. Genetic diversity was checked in F2 generation plants by using 33 AFLP and 13 SSR markers which showed high polymorphism later same plants were allowed to bioassay with

CRISPR / cas9 is an amazing, fast, and accurate usable technology in crop improvement. This technology has already made the genetic changes required in many crops to be resistant to viruses, fungi, bacteria, abiotic stress tolerance, nutritionally rich and ornamentally beautiful plants. In
Global warming is affecting every natural resource on this planet. Coffee cultivation is facing more problems by increasing the global warming. If some steps are taken to grow more trees in hilly areas the rain will likely fall on time, as a result, the climate temperature effect can decrease and ground water levels will be increased. Due to the presence of large trees on the hilly areas, cultivation of coffee plants will become easy. Hence, coffee plants can grow healthily and give good yields.
As the rain falls more than necessary, disease vector populations will become more so that, coffee plants get affect for more diseases finally, farmers and coffee industries fall in trouble (Bett et al. 2017). Most of the farmers are not able to spray pesticides for the diseases (Bebber 2015). There is robust evidence that pests and diseases have already responded to climate change. According to Sami and Peterson estimations 50% of insects can be get change by 2100 under current GHG (Green House Gas) emissions trajectories. For example, Climate change influences on the global potential distribution of bluetongue virus (BTV), which is spread by biting
This type of problems can be overcome to some extent by supplying genetically modified plants (GM) which are biotech plants to get rid of such problems. Current crop development technology must be used to provide food for the growing population that can withstand this climate change, disease, and other consequences (Ahmad and Mukhtar 2017). Thus the percentage of farmers who cultivate coffee can be increase. Similarly, it is better to use poly vinyl houses for drying coffee beans. To have a healthy future we need to look for sustainable coffee options that will thrive in all kinds of weather conditions. Doing so does not harm society and we will get the full benefits of the drink by making coffee from sustainable and quality coffee beans so that, justice is will be done to everyone who involved in the coffee supply chain. This is the right step in the direction of providing a better life for future generations. Therefore, coffee growers need to adopt methods for cultivating cytoplasmic genes of different diploid species as cultivars to withstand disease attacks and sustain production in a changing environment (Santa Ram 2018). As per the above discussion it is advisable to use genetically modified plants and fertilizers containing nanoparticles to give better yield in present world scenario.
Coffee crop giving more economic support to the countries hence it is needed to protect the crop from various aspects. we have discussed how to grow coffee plants from seed stage to plants and required salts in the soil, and favorable conditions to the plants for healthy growth. While harvesting the beans more precautions have to take otherwise farmers will be getting more income loss. Hence, the precautions have been discussed from the harvesting step to packaging. We hope these techniques are useful for all farmers and mini industries. Due to more fungal and bacterial diseases crop loss is increasing every year hence here we explained the methods to prevent common fungal and bacterial diseases of coffee plants, along with their causative agents. Nanotechnology is the new technology in the agriculture field. We explained the uses and benefits of different nanoparticle- fertilizers and nanopesticides to increase coffee production by overcoming the biotic and abiotic issues. Although we discussed polymorphisms with the different molecular markers in coffee plants, various markers need to develop for selection of disease-restance and other traits.
