Is Climate Change Harming Florida’s Strawberry Production? Hardly

Fresh Plaza, a global trade publication for the fresh produce industry, ran an article claiming climate change is harming Florida’s strawberry production.

This is false.

Data shows that amid modest warming, Florida’s strawberry production has increased dramatically over the past 30 years. [emphasis, links added]


The United States Department of Agriculture reports that Florida strawberry shipments have more than doubled since 2000.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
