Many of the world’s favorite food and drinks – such as coffee, chocolate, and soy – could be fanning the flames of malaria, according to a new study. Products such as coffee, cocoa, tobacco, tea, beef, soybeans, and palm oil require huge amounts of land to satisfy intense demand from developed countries and help to fuel forest clearing in many tropical regions of the world.
