“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 strategy to save water 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 the food you eat, called water foodprint. Water experts predict half the world will not have enough water by 2030; already true for 1 billion people. The wars of the future are expected to be fought over water, causing death and destruction. The good news is because 70% of our planet's finite supply of freshwater supplies flows to grow food, you and I have the power to rewrite the water story, it begins with your next meal.
