Agriculture is the largest consumer of water. In California, for example, 80 percent of the water drawn for state projects is used in farming. The remaining 20 percent is divided between residential, industrial, and commercial use. And while many agree that organic farming is better for the planet because these systems encourage careful soil management and discourage harmful inputs, like synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, another environmental benefit that's not often talked about is this: organic farming uses less water than conventional operations. One study conducted by Cornell University showed that organic farming produced the same corn and soybean yields as conventional systems but used 30 percent less energy and water. And in India, organic rice farmers have found that using less water just makes financial and ecological sense. Their high yields acquired through using less water were cited in a 2007 study by the World Wildlife Foundation. Source: EcoWorldly

I think you've made some truly interesting points. Not too many people would actually think about this the way you just did. I'm really impressed that there's so much about this subject that's been uncovered and you did it so well, with so much class. Good one you, man! Really great stuff here.

It's true what our moms said...we are what we eat. In fact, it's truer than they thought. What I eat doesn't just affect me anymore, it affects all of us.
Unfortunately, the story of food can sometimes be complicated. But envirovores help each other out...which is why this blog will be bringing you news, tips, and information about food and the environment every step of the way.
