In this chapter, we tackle the water quantity and quality impacts of agriculture, which remains the largest water user both globally and in many regions. We address questions like these:
- How can agriculture become more sustainable from a water perspective, while still providing enough food for a growing population?
- Which foods have the largest water footprints?
- How can we make better use of both blue and green water in growing food?
- How does agriculture pollute water and soil, and how can we minimize those impacts?
