Answer:

We have lost a lot of genetic diversity in plants. In the U.S., fruit and vegetable crops have decreased in diversity by 90% in less than one century.

Step-by-step explanation:

Increasingly rapid environmental, technological and social changes, including extreme weather events, changes in agricultural practices, the emergence and spread of new pests and diseases, and conflict, are causing crop diversity to disappear in many places around the world.
