The tropics are very species-rich, but world-wide, agriculture seems to be focused on a few commercial crops derived from or heavily modified for Northern European climates. Often, these crops are chosen for shelf life over all other attributes, including taste, nutrition, and local conditions. This results in agriculture that struggles to produce a cash crop when abundant local food crops would require less labor, seed costs, fertilizer and environmental impact.
