10 Foods at Risk of Extinction

Banania. In December 2015, the scientific magazine “Plos Pattogens” reported that a mushroom called the tropical race (TR4) can wipe out one of the most popular and nutritious fruits in the world. TRU4 is a mutation in Panama's disease, provoked by Fusarium oxysporum that attacks the roots of several varieties in the plant. In all, the R4 attack also goes directly to the variety of Cavendish, which belongs to 99% of bananas sold in developed countries. The practice of monoculturalism, a lack of diversity in this type of fruit, can have devastating consequences.

Vera. Perhaps in 2090 there will be no Merlot wine, no kebernet sauvron, no chardane, no sarah because of climate change. The vine is a multiyear-old plant and is affected by climate, you cannot plant it every year, says Inaki Garcia Cortazar, an engineer at the French National Agronomic Research Institute. In the last 30 years, European creatures have had an early bloom of two weeks and a month before the product harvest. There has also been a change in grapemaking. Most of the French vinedressery has been added to sugar that corresponds to a degree of alcohol every 10 years. They've lost zero.5 and 1 g/l acidity. The problem is that only 10 varieties cover 40% of the world's vine, and in some countries such as New Zealand and China, one alone covers 80% of the cultivated area. These varieties do not represent biodiversity, they are the ones that are best used by water, are the best traded, since no new consumer grapes are proven. The solution is to study forgotten varieties to identify any that might match future conditions.

Avocado. It's a symbol of healthy fat. Consumption has tripled - a high demand for a tropical plant that requires much water. Avokado plantations are replacing pines in Mexico and Chile, which increases CO2 and accelerates climate change and lack of water. The solution would be to search for varieties that endure in the drought.

The strawberries. Studies have shown that rising temperatures can eliminate this plant. The rise in temperatures causes us to have an early production and a reduction in general harvest productivity as well as in the length of the growing cycle.

Coffee. The researchers of the Kaw Botanical Garden in London estimate that the wild brown plant in the wild is at risk of extinction. Tropical forests, where they are growing up, and the plants and animals in those areas will be the most threatened on the planet. In 2080 there will be no trace of it. Arabic coffee makes up 70% of world production and has stories of disease, parasites and declining productivity and growers have always cured nature and genetic diversity to deal with. Without a wild coffee, the slightest climate change, or disease, will eliminate it. It will only remain the variety of Molusta coffee, bitter and twice as caffeine as Arabic coffee. This coffee is used for instant coffee.

Minutes. When carbon dioxide accumulates into the atmosphere, the ocean absorbs a quarter of CO2 that drowns the air. The bad news is when it melts in water it reduces ph. Oceans are acidized, and some species pay a high price, especially the flies. Studies show that calucification is reduced by 10% in seashell shells and by 25% to flies. Some specimens do not reach the stage of growth and are prey. Their future is in danger.

Gru. This year 750 million tons of wheat, the world's most important product, will be produced. The first item used for bread is a necessary part of Roman times, but its future is uncertain. According to a study published by “Nature Climateate Change”, the harvest will be reduced by 6% for each temperature degree.

The potato. If Wednesday levels increase, the presence of parasites, warming temperatures will bring new diseases that threaten potato plantations. According to projections in 2085, production will be reduced by 26%. Much for a planet that is more populated every year, that this corm after wheat and rice is the most popular product. However, scientists believe that this thousands of varieties will allow you to adapt to changes better than others.

Cocoa. If things don't change, a piece of chocolate will be a luxury. The cacao tree grows only to 10o and 20o altitudes, always if it has stable temperatures, moisture and abundant rains, a land rich in nitrogen and protected by wind. A tropical jungle like that of Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana, whose plantations cultivate cacao theobroma produce raw materials for half the world's chocolate. It is believed that climate change in 2050 will bring an increase in temperatures of 2.1 degrees, which will reduce the growing area. Hence, some growers are trying to identify seeds that are more resistant to drought.

More fruit. Global warming and drought for 2050 will reduce the cultivation grounds of peaches, caissies, almonds, plums in California. In Australia as in European fields within 15 years, there will be fewer apples because winters will be less soft. The population of bees who are the main pollinators of fruit trees has fallen because of climate change. / world.al
