Purple flowers in Kashmir produce the world's most expensive spice - saffron. While it can sell for $10,000 per kilogram, climate change is making it even more expensive. Because of lower-than-usual rainfall over the last few years, production has dropped significantly. And fields that once yielded this delicate spice have become sites for new housing construction.
Climate change is threatening the production of all kinds of foods from cloves in India to eels in Japan and Spain. Here are 10 expensive, and vulnerable, foods and why climate change is making them so much more expensive.

I have to say that I'm very surprised they didn't mention Brazil when talking about cashews, since this plant is a native from here and was took to others countries by the colonizers. It is very common in the Northeast and is really delicious, not only the nut, but the whole fruit, which can be consumed as juice and eaten in meals, as a 'substitute' of meat.

Overfishing is 75-90% of the problem for all fish. Climate change isn't killing the fish or they would all be gone. I would wager its more like 95% of the problem is overfishing. You cant take half the fish away every year and expect the number to stay the same. Its basic math really. Obviously people are consuming the fish faster than they can reproduce. Even preventing the fish from reproducing.

Chinook salmon are also a very important food source for resident orcas. southern resident killer whale eco-types eat Chinook salmon as nearly 85% of their diet. They're large, fatty and their silver bellies are distinct for hunting purposes. As chinook salmon numbers dwindle, SRKW are experiencing more miscarriages, higher infant mortality, and increased toxicity by heavy metals that bioaccumulate in their fat. There's only 73 SRKW recorded.

it's always so disheartening in the animal themed segments to hear conservation efforts being talked about as preserving the industry rather than the animal. like "if we killed all the animals we couldn't make money off of them" rather than having an interest in the preservation because .. they're living breathing beings that have a right to live and exist divorced from the human benefit.

@victory8928 7 күн бұрын

Plus they also are important for their ecosystems too may people focus on the profit or perserving industry to remember that these animals are a part of the reason for why their environments are the way they are whether it is due to predation, preying on other organisms, cycling nutrients and carrying resources from the ocean to freshwater and so on. Plus diversity helps these ecosystems survive hardships and make the environment more resilient even if we don’t value the lives of these fish as animals (which we should value as animals these fellas can live as long as us and are vital to our cultures and our environment) . There are so many reasons but as people we just aren’t equip to be able to understand these issues readily (some say we have to be depressed to actually understand cause it lets us take a step back and think) we see our routine and we want to keep cause we are creatures of habit, to change is to change how you lived for so long is to change how you value things (e.g rich buggers having a healthy ego and understanding that hey maybe lets not eat baby eels so that we have more adult eels and cause eels are so important) and so on. Fortunately we can change which gives me hope that we can at least try to lessen our impacts cause we have done too far to fix everything. Our populations are too big plain and simple to fix things we can mitigate and lessen our impacts though by changing how we live and view the world. Lets hope that our descendants can enjoy eel as well

@jakoblarok 7 ай бұрын

I guess it's on brand for Insider's "Most Expensive Things Show" to inflate the popularity of eating an endangered species - but all those "cheaper" restaurant chains that were serving farm-raised pufferfish were not only more sustainable, but also are SAFER than eating wild-caught pufferfish, as the tetradotoxin is built up from eating stuff from their native environment, not the stuff they eat in captivity. Such a basic fact about pufferfish that this group got entirely wrong, just to promote the extinction of several species, for the bragging rights of "richers". Additionally, despite a scant few studies (funded by the industry) saying that the "wild caught fish has higher concentrations of savory compounds like glutamic and inosinic acids", they are indistinguishably bland, when I eat them. "Light and delicate - but interesting texture..." this is how you let a nice restaurant save face when they disappoint you with a hyped-up fish - even as it is going extinct from over-hype. Pretty sure that guy in the Meiji Era that fought hard to overturn the ban on fugu was being "lobbied" by a consort with ties to that industry. Hard to believe that such a dude would have had strong thoughts about a bland, chewy fish otherwise - unless he was trying to make himself sound like a badass. If that's the case, he probably also had a large collection of Western crafted firearms...

I understand that the producers are incentivized to include climate arguments in the documentary. I really do get it, but to force fit it into every scenario as the main reason for problems of all kinds, just lacks credibility. It is enough to turn a climate activist into a climate sceptic. Maybe try weaving the climate narrative more subtly and appropriately into the more clear and defensible examples? Otherwise it comes across as a gallon of ketchup on a single hotdog. Less is more.

The earth started a rapid warmup 18000 thousand years ago. Ending the last ice age and melting the massive glaciation in the northern latitudes. Almost all of this ice melted over about 5500 years. The level of heat input to do is still not completely understood. This raised sea level 400 feet. All the ice core studies show clear undisputed evidence of temperature increase prior to increases in CO2 levels. So blaming CO2 alone is simply not credible. Does it play a role yes to a minor degree but this is highly debated among many climate scientist. Blaming one variable is political not scientific.
