Population growth and climate change present an immense challenge: How will we feed the Earth’s population, estimated to be 10+ billion by 2050? Farmers currently use 80 percent of available water, but cities and industry need more water. A profound challenge faces us: How do we keep rural agricultural communities vibrant so they can produce food for the world, and satisfy the demand of municipal and industrial users for more water?
Technological developments promise another green revolution, but at a great cost. Pioneering food and beverage companies are pushing the boundaries of innovation with water reuse programs that reduce their water footprints as they improve their bottom lines. Glennon explores options for protecting rural communities while securing a food supply for the globe.
