RE: We Lose Them. Five Products Tending to Disappear Before the End of the Century
This is a really thoughtful post. I'm a big coffee drinker (always sustainably farmed micro-lots etc etc), and I've been thinking a lot about its future. I've noticed as well most big coffee producing nations have a history of foreign intervention. Like oil and cocaine but under the radar, yet so many of us are 'medicated' on coffee.
Of course, honey is a big loss being such a great storable food with antibacterial properties. The other major issue with the bees is the immense flow-on impact of losing their pollination of our food crops. This is going to have incredible impacts on our agriculture, in what is already predicted to be a period of food insecurity.
