Experts predict two-thirds of people living on this planet in 2030 will
experience water scarcity, a situation expected to result in the deaths
of millions and an unprecedented rise in military conflicts. Can we as
individuals hope to have any effect on the global scale of water misuse?
Yes, we can make a significant difference--with our food
choices--learned author and activist Florencia Ramirez as she traveled
across the nation to interview farmers and food producers. Tracing
Ramirez's tour of American water sustainable farms--from rice paddies in
Cajun Louisiana to a Hawaiian coffee farm to a Boston chocolate factory
and beyond--Eat Less Water tells the story of water served on our
plates: an eye-opening account of the under-appreciated environmental
threat of water scarcity, a useful cookbook with water-sustainable
recipes accompanying each chapter, and a fascinating personal narrative
that will teach the reader how they, too, can eat less water.
