Avocado: the 'green gold' causing environment havoc The avocado boom means 11 billion pounds are consumed annually worldwide.
Intensive production in Michoacán state, Mexico has caused environment damage on multiple fronts.
The avocado supply chain desperately needs international monitoring and standards.
Maybe you start your day with an avocado toast, then you have an avocado salad for lunch, and you finish your day with some guacamole in your dinner. The delicious and nutritious fruit has gained immense popularity over the last years, linked to a healthy lifestyle. But the underlying truth is tough: Avocado production carries enormous environmental costs that you are probably not aware of.

Just like I can't blame poor people in food deserts for having to shop at Walmart.

The best decision we ever made.

(3,182 posts)11. Well, it used to be pretty ... okay,
But once we had the Costco open and compared (products and service) it was just a no-brainer.

A variety of unexpected factors have caused prices to drop drastically since June.
Not long ago, avocado toast was decried as the symbol of millennial excess, driven in large part by the expense of the item's eponymous ingredient. (Not the toast.) But now, at a time when inflation seems to be driving up the price of nearly everything, avocados may suddenly be one of the better deals at the grocery store.
