All great points. What baffles me is that in Spain, the world's second largest almond producer, almond trees are largely not watered. I suppose production suffers, but still...
- latch 12y agoAccording to Wiki, the US gets 10x+ the almond yield by weight per hectare versus Spain. (Not saying it justifies the use of water, just providing the numbers).
- dllthomas 12y agoSpain also has nearly 2x the average rainfall of California. Rainfall in California is also mostly concentrated in places where we're not growing almonds - I don't know if that's true of Spain.
