Feeding a Thirstier World: Could Sustainable Desalination Help Secure the Future of Global Agriculture?
Water and food are inseparable. Every crop grown, every animal raised and almost every element of the global food supply chain ultimately depends upon access to reliable water. Yet agriculture is increasingly competing for that water with expanding cities, industry, energy generation and growing populations. According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), agriculture already accounts for approximately 72% of global freshwater withdrawals. At the same time, around
