Could Avocados Go Extinct?

Will avocados go extinct?

Avocados. There's a reason you pay extra for guac, it's because avocados are becoming more and more endangered. The majority of avocados consumed in the United States come from California, where a major drought is only just ending.

Why are avocados becoming extinct?

Climate change is negatively affecting the world's food supply in a variety of ways. Fluctuating temperatures and unstable weather patterns make it more difficult for different crops to thrive. Avocados, maple syrup, and strawberries are among the foods that could go extinct soon.
