Due to the rapid changes in climate, environment and conditions, there is a real threat of extinction of some species of animals, birds and even products. What can disappear from our tables in the near future?
Chocolate
Global warming has a negative impact on the preservation of the harvest of cocoa beans, from which chocolate is made. If the air temperature rises further, the number of plantations of this plant will be halved, or even disappear altogether.
Durum wheat pasta
Durum wheat varieties are very sensitive to climate change. The more moisture – rains, especially when combined with heat, the quality of both grain and flour deteriorates.
Coffee
The plantations where the Arabica coffee variety is grown, with an increase in the average annual temperature, also become unsuitable for growing this crop.
Shellfish
All kinds of mollusks, due to the increase in the temperature of the water in the ocean, can accumulate various bacteria that are dangerous to humans.
Wine
Elite grape varieties also react negatively to climate warming – grapes ripen earlier, the vine dries up and the next harvest becomes much poorer.
Bacon
Rapid climate change also affects the yield of special feeds used to feed animals, in particular pigs. The livestock is reduced, which means that there will be much less products from them.
Salmon
Salmon feeds on molluscs, and molluscs, under the influence of changes in water, also decrease in quantity. The food chain is changing – salmon are starting to die out and are reluctant to breed.
Cherry
This berry also does not like excessive heat. When the air temperature rises, its pollination is significantly reduced, and the yield of sweet cherries decreases.
Honey
Climate change is also affecting the population of bees, some scientists fear that the population of these insects is on the verge of complete extinction. Of course, it is impossible to think about any honey with such a scenario.
Peanut
Peanuts themselves are very capricious in their care, and not every entrepreneur risks growing them. The greenhouse effect reduces the yield of peanuts.
