Well, i'm not sure a quick google is definitive, but my main point stands on its own. As I said, almonds may not be a good tradeoff for the region, but farming in-general should be treated very carefully, and is indeed life-sustaining and critical. We shouldn't just equate "farming" in the region, with "almonds".
Even if we take your googled numbers as fact, it's a relatively small minority of the total farming production in the region.
- CJefferson 4y agoFarming should be treated carefully, I think we agree. What isn’t careful, in my opinion, is to take some poorly thought out “water rights” rules and keep applying them, while it is clear they are not fit for purpose and various water levels, both above and below ground, continue to reach new lows every year.
