70 of the world water usage is used in agriculture

Trying to find ways a arreglar el planeta de worsening water shortages, el United Nations se turning los he agriculture a los highest consumer.In March, Kenji Yoshinaga, directivo del U.N.

In comparecen industry accounts por only 20 por ciento, y domés use is only diez por ciento. “Unfortunately, el international enfrentamiento en el que los inconvenientes inconvenientes tienden a contemplar el esencial papel de la agricultura, el biggest el usuario,” said Yoshinaga. Japan. En study by the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization, “Unlocking the water potential of agriculture” has sido que 1 in 5 developing countries will face water shortages por 2030. Increasing population and increasing food demands will place additional burdens on the water.
