Well put, thank you. It doesn't make sense to discount them entirely, but I definitely wouldn't want to be financially reliant on them. If any crop is headed for catastrophe, it's the Cavendish banana. There are just so many billions of chances a year for disease to adapt to destroy the Cavendish specifically because of the scale and methodology of it's cultivation, and if it's fungal, or a fungally endosymbiotic virus it has the potential to send spores into the stratosphere and go global.
