Katharine Vincent was interviewed by SABC radio regarding an article written together with Neha Mittal and Andy Dougill in The Conversation, discussing the effects of climate change on tea production in Malawi and Kenya.

Tea producers in and are already witnessing a change in climate. and high temperatures threaten tea yields, national economies and the livelihoods of small scale . They have typically not found generic climate projections useful because these projections focus on changes in average conditions, when tea crop production is at the greatest risk of temperature extremes. An initiative under the Future Climate for Africa programme has attempted to change this by generating tailored projections that suit the particular information needs of farmers.
