We also centralize our agriculture & ship the product all over the world. The consequences are greater energy usage to transport the product, more fragile food economies, income inequality, water hoarding, biodiversity loss, pollution, desertification, decreased rainfall, soil erosion & degregulation, increased wear on roads, a consumerist mindset that is abstracted away from the environment. Humanity is crazy. Simple as that. We need to start thinking systemically; not react with myopic & reductionistic policies. Systemic solutions will solve our issues. Reductionistic policies will perpetuate this game. Capital tends to pool together. These farms that are using up all of the water are capital intensive. In the mean time, large companies like Nestle are buying reservoirs in an effort to privatize the remaining water. The water supply is being diminished while the remaining water is being bought. One can infer that there are efforts to manipulate water supply to turn water into a commodity market that large corporations control. Intentional or not, that is what is going on right now.
