(#9) Avocados
- Food
Avocados aren't going extinct per se, but they are almost unsustainably difficult to grow, especially as the demand for guacamole increases. Growing a single pound of avocados takes roughly 72 gallons of water, which means that droughts are especially serious for avocados. When rainfall in California isn't sufficent, the cost of avocados increases dramatically. It's only a matter of time before the a rough season leads to the cost of water outweighing the benefits of growing avocados.
(#1) Chocolate
- Food
More than half of the world's chocolate supply is produced in Ghana and the Ivory Coast - two areas severely affected by rising temps. Scientists predict that climate change will significantly reduce cocoa production by 2030.
What's more, two of the world's biggest chocolate companies (Mars, Inc. and Barry Callebaut) say we're eating way too much. In 2013, the world ate 70,000 metric tons more cocoa than it produced. By 2020 the deficit could be 1 million metric tons, and by 2030, it could be near 2 million.(#7) Whitefish
Your next basket of fish and chips may be made entirely of shark (and potatoes). Overfishing has led to shortages of favorites like pollock, haddock, hoki, hake, cod, redfish, roughies, whiting, and Chilean sea bass.(#6) Peanuts
It might be time to make the switch to almond butter. Peanut plants are notoriously fickle, and both increased temperatures and long-term droughts are only making it tougher.(#3) Maple Syrup
Pancake emergency! Global warming's hotter temperatures are to blame for maple trees' shorter and shorter sapping seasons and less sugary sap. In fact, average temps in New England are 2 to 4 degrees higher than they were 100 years ago. If they go up another 6 degrees, the world may lose its sugar maple population entirely.(#4) Banana

About This Tool
There are many delicious foods that will disappear in the world soon. Compared with the 1900s, 75% of the agricultural plant varieties have disappeared. There are more varieties of crops that have disappeared, and more are on the verge of endangerment. Many varieties of fruits, vegetables, and meat are disappearing in our daily lives. For example, due to climate change, Italy may not be able to grow the basic raw material of pasta, durum wheat.
Have you ever imagined that people will no longer be able to enjoy delicious food such as pasta and fresh honey one day? We list random 12 delicious foods here, we should learn more about the problem in the world and contribute to the protection of these foods.
