Well this is terrible. I already knew about the steady trend toward a lack of diversity in European and Native American Crops, but if it is happening Globally, it Means that in addition to possibly subtly accumulating health consequences, if a generalist pathogen were to infect a crop or group of crops with similar immune systems, due to the lack of Genetic Diversity, we could face widespread famine. In Systems with Limited Variety (and therefore adaptability), Limited Pathways are more Vulnerable to Collapse. #concerning #healthissue #environmentalissue #environmentalism #agriculture #biologicalsystems #geneticdiversity #rulesofnature #croppathogens #adaptability #nutrition #farming #monoculture (at Fresno, California)
