Not everywhere with abundant natural water sources are very good for growing crops. Warm dry places tend to be good because you can grow crops there year round

Warm dry places tend to be good because you can grow crops there year round and they get a lot of sunlight. That's not necessarily the case in places with lots of natural water.
Of course, we do farm in places with lots of water too, it's just not the same crops.
- pfannkuchen 3y agoIt feels like deleting out of season produce or relocating it to the opposite hemisphere is less bad than people living in these regions being super water constrained in day to day living. Also anecdotally I don’t see much out of season produce coming from arid parts of the US, it’s all South America or Mexico already anyway AFAICT.
