Unsustainable Water impact of livestock farming

  • Water usage much higher for livestock cultivation
  • 1lb of potato, corn, rice use 60-200 lbs of water
  • 1lb cow meat takes 2,000 lbs of water
  • 25% of river water used for animal feed and cattle
  • 25% of fresh water for animal farming,
  • This reduces water available to cities
  • Moving agro business to other countries increases
