Why are these people farming in the desert to begin with?
- throwaway_08932 3y agoBecause if they weren't, they wouldn't be there?
- silisili 3y agoThere are a -lot- of stuff grown in desert climates, believe it or not. I think it's a fine idea, just that the price needs to accurately reflect the water usage and only then determine if it's worth continuing or not. Right now it's not really factored in at all, and cities are starting to crunch for water. As an anecdote, I currently live in the desert, and the pecan farmers nearby use so much water that we get mosquitos pretty badly at times of the year.
