Global warming is a disturbing phenomenon for
more reasons than one. There are severe after effects of this human made
environmental problem. A study that was published by the National Academy of
Sciences claimed that three quarters of the major wine producing areas on the
Earth will become unsuitable for vine farming in less than forty years due to
severe climate change. The climate change is expected to be particularly harsh
in the Mediterranean region, which is the highest producer of olive fruits used
to extract fresh olive oil. The vine
farming regions all over the world are expected to be reduced by 68%. Similar
losses are expected in the olive oil for sale producing regions across South Africa, Australia, Chile and other
countries.
The study further claims that the olive
production will have to be shifted to other suitable climate locations in
Central China, Northern Europe and North-western Americas. This climate change
will have a severe effect on the olive farming in Mediterranean region. As
olive trees are easy to manage and they can thrive across many terrains with
least water so many nations are showing eagerness to emerge into the trade of
producing olive oil for sale and natural olive oil. In
Libya and India olive plantations have started coming up. This could mean a
shift in the power pole from Mediterranean regions to Asia and other parts of
the world. Though the study shows that there will be no shortage of extra virgin olive oil and other
varieties of such oil, but there will be new super powers.
