We take oranges, grapefruit, lemons and limes for granted. They've been around our entire lives. They're always there when we want 'em. But did you have any idea that in just a few years they may all be gone? There's a lethal disease called citrus greening decimating Florida citrus. In the 20 years since it arrived, Florida has lost half its citrus land ? some 500,000 acres of groves. Farmers are nothing if not ingenious. And adaptable. Some have found better ways to protect their fruit. Others have expanded into producing other commodities ? like blueberries and peaches. We'll also take a side trip to Port Everglades, FL to try to do a little detective work as to how the bug that brought greening to America arrived ? and to show the pivotal role our ports play in keeping us all fed.
Citrus is an endangered species ? Florida has already lost half its orange groves to a lethal citrus greening disease. In Part 2 of this episode, we'll meet a Frenchman who's devoted his life to saving the Florida grapefruit industry. You'll also see hundreds of acres of trees growing under cover in screened-in closure (like a giant back porch the size of several football fields). Florida growers have a choice: Stand and fight, quit, or adapt. We'll introduce you to people who've taken every path.
