> A study from the University of Exeter, published today (March 6) in Nature Food, warns that by 2080, growing bananas for export may no longer be economically viable in many parts of Latin America and the Caribbean. Climate change is driving temperatures higher, making conditions less suitable for banana cultivation. > The study also highlights major socioeconomic barriers to adaptation, including limited access to infrastructure and labor shortages. Because most banana farms are located near population centers and ports, relocating to cooler areas is not a simple solution. > The industry is dominated by multinational corporations... While things may go poorly for the countries currently exporting bananas, I'd bet that those multinational corporations will keep growing bananas, at scale.
