Besides virtual water concept actually grains contain 10 % moisture but animal product contain 80 % moisture. In the process as well as in the product we are loosing water. We all are having the responsibility to feed the Nation and then the World. So building up of infra-structure to harvest rain water and recharge groundwater with the profit amount may be a possible option.

Bonjour
Je ne pense pas que la véritable problématique vienne de l'empreinte de l'eau sur toute sa consommation.
Pour moi elle vient plutôt de la gestion de l'eau une fois consommée. Elle est rejetée dans l'environnement telle qu'elle sans autre forme d'épuration de la pollution dissoute.
Tot ou tard cette pollution dissoute se retrouve dans l'eau potable des réserves souterraines et dans la production agronimique, notre base alimentaire.
Hello I don't think that the real problem comes from the water footprint on its consumption.
For me it comes rather once consumed water management. It is released into the environment as it without further purification of the dissolved pollution.
Sooner or later this dissolved pollution is found in drinking water in underground reserves and production agronimique, our food basis.
