“Impeccable writing and practical, relevant, planet-friendly alternatives to reducing water consumption in cooking and agricultural production.”
STARRED KIRKUS REVIEW
DOLORES HUERTA, CO-FOUNDER OF THE UNITED FARM WORKERS, PRESIDENTIAL MEDAL OF FREEDOM RECIPIENT, PRESIDENT OF THE DOLORES HUERTA FOUNDATION
“Florencia Ramirez is a longtime water activist and educator with a profound appreciation for food and food production. In a quest to understand how farming can be less water-intensive, she interviewed a series of organic farmers and learned trade secrets, garnered recipes, and made friends along the way. Eat Less Water is the result; it is a book that will be of particular interest to consumers of organic food.”
FOREWARD REVIEWS
The most far-reaching, effective water-saving strategy is to EAT LESS OF IT. Did you know you eat, on average, between 500-1300 gallons of water each day? This is water embedded in your food, called the water footprint. Water experts predict half the world will not have enough water by 2030; already true for 1 billion people. Future wars are expected to be fought over water, causing death and destruction. The good news is that because 70% of our planet's finite supply of freshwater flows to grow food, you and I can rewrite the water story, and it begins with your next meal.
