Not to scare you but it happens every year, constantly. There is always another new disease or an new mutation to an older disease that is attacking crops.

It's only by constant research, phytosanitary processes and breeding efforts that our food supply is as secure as it is.

And then there are bananas. No genetic variation. Just clones of clones of clones. 1 disease away from being totally wiped out.
