Coffee And Other Foods Under Threat Of Extinction

Almonds

The demand for almonds and almond milk seems to be ever on the rise, but there are questions over the sustainability of their production.

Blueberries

According to a report by the United Nations, three-quarters of the world's food crops depend on pollinators including butterflies, beetles, birds and bees, which are declining at an alarming rate.

Broccoli

Broccoli is another staple veggie that relies on pollination from honeybees, whose rate of decline is 'consistent with a mass extinction', according to a report from the University of Ottawa.

Honey

Of course, honey is another product that may soon cease to exist. The production of honey relies entirely on bees, which collect flower nectar and break it down before depositing it into a honeycomb.

Wine

Wine is another earthly pleasure that could be threatened by climate change. A rise of 4°C, meanwhile, could result in a shocking 85% reduction.

Avocados

Favoured by trendy brunch spots across the globe, avocados have earned themselves a kind of cult status in recent years. But despite their popularity, their future remains uncertain.

Bluefin tuna

There are three species of bluefin tuna: Atlantic, Pacific and Southern. All three are used in sashimi and sushi, two Japanese delicacies – and sadly, all three are either vulnerable or endangered.

Salmon

Tuna aren't the only fish that face an uncertain future. Studies suggest that ocean acidification could have an impact on salmon populations too.
