- rtkwe 5y agoFor the whole US only 1.3% of people are employed directly on farms and for Utah the number is 1,442 or 0.04% of the population.

These water intensive processes have massive impacts on the environment, look at the valley in California that's sunk 11 feet because of the immense amount of water that's been pulled out of the land.

Someone is buying the product or they wouldn't exist. If you want a modern lifestyle deal with it. Deserts are going to have to be used for growing stuff.
