《富比士》雜誌刊登的一篇新文章，揭露了2023年這個有史以來最炎熱的一年中，有哪些食品受到氣候危機影響最深。

❶葡萄與葡萄酒：國際葡萄與葡萄酒組織（OIV）的數據顯示，全球葡萄酒產量跌至三十多年來的新低。乾旱、洪水、野火及極端天氣對智利、西班牙和意大利等主要葡萄種植國的葡萄園造成了巨大損害。整體而言，葡萄產量比去年下降了約7%。

❷藍莓：去年，南美洲大部分地區經歷了前所未有的熱浪，而這些高溫多發生在藍莓的開花期。這導致秘魯的藍莓出口量銳減超過50%。鑑於秘魯主要的藍莓種植區預計會持續高溫至少到今年秋天，我們可以預見藍莓價格會有顯著上升。

❸橄欖和橄欖油：西班牙橄欖產業受到持續嚴重乾旱的影響，產量減少了50%。西班牙橄欖油的價格創下了新高，庫存也顯著減少。這也對通常使用橄欖油的加工食品產生了連鎖效應，如魚類罐頭。

❹稻米：2023年，受氣候危機在歐盟、美國和亞洲的影響，全球稻米產量出現下降。印度作為全球最大稻米出口國，面對市場短缺的擔憂，實施了對出口的限制，導致稻米價格攀升至15年來的新高。

❺馬鈴薯：根據《Climate》期刊的一篇研究報告，馬鈴薯的生產正面臨氣候變遷的重大挑戰，預計在未來45年內，全球產量可能會減少18到32%。到了2023年，這種下滑趨勢已經初見端倪，英國因為持續大雨影響，馬鈴薯的收成降至有紀錄以來的最低之一。

Forbes reveals foods hit hardest by climate change in 2023

A new article from orbes has revealed the foods that were the most affected by the impact of the climate crisis during 2023, the hottest year in recorded history.

①Grapes and wine: According to the International Organization of Vine and Wine (OIV), global wine production was at its lowest in over three decades, with droughts, floods, wildfires and severe weather having devastating effects on vineyards in top grape-growing countries such as Chile, Spain and Italy. Overall, grape yields saw a reduction of approximately 7% compared to the previous year.

②Blueberries: Last year saw unprecedented heatwaves across large parts of South America, much of which were ongoing during blueberry flowering season. In Peru, this led to a drop in blueberry exports of more than 50%. With elevated temperatures predicted in the primary blueberry-producing regions of Peru until at least this autumn, we can expect to see significant price increases.

③Olives and olive oil: Spain’s olive industry has felt the effects of continuous severe drought, resulting in a 50% reduction in yield. Prices of Spanish olive oil reached unprecedented levels and stockpiles have significantly decreased. This is also having a knock-on effect on secondary food products that typically make use of olive oil, such as tinned fish.

④Rice: Global rice production decreased in 2023 due to the effects of the climate crisis in the EU, US and Asia. India – the world’s largest exporter of rice – responded to shortage concerns by imposing restrictions on shipments, contributing to prices rising to their highest levels in 15 years.

⑤Potatoes: A study published in Climate marks potato production as under serious threat from climate change, predicting a decline in global yields potentially of 18-32% within the next 45 years. In 2023, we saw the beginning of this, with heavy rain causing one of the lowest potato harvests on record in the UK.
