WATER CONSERVATION METHODS FOR FARMERS: SAVING WATER, SAVING CROPS, SAVING THE PLANET
Water scarcity is also a significant threat to food security. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), two-thirds of the world’s population could live in water-stressed countries by 2025 if current consumption patterns continue. This means that there will be less water available to produce food, which could lead to higher food prices and malnutrition. It is crucial to implement effective water conservation methods to address this issue and ensure sustainable food production.
