"...between 2050 and 2100 the global tomato harvest could be cut in half."
If I stock up now, there's a sliiiiiight chance the 'best buy' date will have come and gone before 2050.

But in the most of the US, the problem with growing tomatoes is TOO FARKEN MANY TOMATOES.
The only time people would lock their car doors at Church was during tomato season or they'd find the floor boards filled with baskets of tomatoes.
I'd often be tasked with delivering excess tomatoes from the garden to Dad's friends.
I eventually just wrote a note and dropped the basket on the door step like an abandoning a baby and got out before "oh no, we have enough..." conversations.

This. Israel grows good tomatoes. Sure, some people there are suffering, but they go so good with hummus.

Ragin' Asian: Nope. Love tomatoes, but processed tomato products are butt. That includes canned/jarred sauces.
I agree with Jose.

a chef friend of mine always said if you can't get tomatoes in season, there is nothing wrong with canned plum ones (esp. if you can get actual San Marzano)
sure, there are definitely applications where only fresh tomatoes will do, but otherwise...
/also I remain blown away by how delicious Elzar's jarred sauces are

Trying the Amish Roma. It's indeterminate, which is unusual for a sauce tomato.

ski9600: This is such media hype BS. A couple years ago it was coffee and bananas. Now it's mustard, ketchup, and sunflower seeds. Fark you media hype persons!
It's real, it's just that tomatoes grow almost everywhere. So farm it elsewhere.
Your version sounds like climate change denial.

Canned tomatoes are fine. It just depends on the use. In sauce, and I imagine ketchup us included, would be fine. A tomato slice for your BLT or diced as an ingredient in pico de gallo wouldn't be.

For cooking, good quality canned whole tomatoes are perfectly fine. In winter I'd rather have salsa made with canned tomatoes than with sad, pale supermarket tomatoes.

3rd year of significant drought and I'm on city water... my fields are barren.
They aren't wrong, and it sucks, because store tomatoes to home grown are like sewer trout to rainbow trout.

ltnor: I over planted tomatoes and could probably my town with ketchup this year.
I want to probably your town with you. That sounds like an adventure.

Percise1: I usually grow a few things: tomatoes, eggplant, golden zucchini and tomatoes.

One of the pots I put tomato seeds in has neer tomato. But it has a couple of things that might be volunteer tomatillos. I'm liking my re-used dirt this year. A pepper is coming up in the Thai basil. I'll take it.

Honestly if one of my neighbors started abandoning zucchinis and tomatoes on my porch I would be a very happy girl.

We have 8 tomato plants and they are already sprouting lil tomatoes. Should be able to start harvesting in a few weeks and we be seen now shortages at the grocery store for anything lately but sure let's panic as always... 🙄
