      A way to prevent food scarcity as much as possible while water shortage becomes a real time issue
  • rely on groundwater that’s already overpumped.
  • The nation’s largest reservoir already has hit the level that triggers mandatory shortages — 1,075 feet (328 meters) above sea level.
  • most deeply felt in Arizona
  • exchange for U.S. funding

    The article reviews recent news from Arizona government limiting water supply allotted to farmers for 2022 due to the record breaking low of the Colorado river and the status of the drought. It reviews climate changes effects on our western water supply from the Colorado River and Arizona's share of its percentage being cut by an agreement from the early 1900s. The water supply will force farmers into seeking more resourceful ways of farming from drought proof crop to reducing their growing area and crop types but ultimately demands a change in how the western states and Arizona source their water supply as it effects our food supply for the future.

    It is truly devastating how the drought is affecting the food supply and our farmers in Arizona, there is a need for better water management, and we need a lot more water in Arizona to survive in the intense heat.

    I enjoyed reading this article because it was very informative. Not only did the article provide statistics in regards to how much water we need for our everyday food intake but it also allows the reader to understand how much money is put into making that food for us to eat. It focuses on the fact that switching to a vegan like or vegetarian diet worldwide would be significantly beneficial to our growing population.

    This article had interesting but scary statistics. Especially the statistic on how much water it takes to produce certain food items. I never realized just how much water society uses to function. In addition, humans are reaching the carrying capacity of the world far too fast. The author makes good suggestions for how to fix this issue. The solutions are not only answering the problem of a food shortage but also climate change.

    This was honestly eye opening seeing how much water is used everyday for even the most simplest of things. Reading about how much water it takes to produce food and how much of ends up being wasted in alarming. I recommend this article for anyone who has a topic that relates to this social issues at it provided in depth details on the matter. It's crazy knowing how much water we use daily without knowing how valuable it is, especially now.

    The article is so true about water scarcity being our demise, it will be such an catastrophe for the food crisis to strike especially in Arizona. The drought plays a huge part in supporting water scarcity, it dries out our lands and empties out the rivers. There are some good solutions to how to resist against climate change.

    This article focuses on the food shortage in Africa. Unfortunately, this is affecting many, many adults and children in many countries in Africa. The article advises that the main cause of this food shortage seems to be the drought in these countries. Now I think that if the governments of these countries had some help to get it together, this could really help the people. Some of the countries are also raising the prices of their food, making it harder to buy-- worsening the problem.

    North Korean people are not allowed to leave the country without permission, no religious freedom, shortages on food all the time, public executions and more. These people have no freedoms or rights.
