I don't want to minimize the concerns of groundwater loss, but I don't see it resulting in a food shortage as the article suggests. It just means we'll have to desalinate. Yes that will mean food prices go up, but they also go up in relation to other things like rising gas prices. Preserving ground water is important, but tying it to looming food shortages seems alarmist.
