    Antweiler added that there is a lot that California can and should do to manage their water sources, including the use of water in agriculture.

    One suggestion I would make to California and BC is to limit animal agriculture water use as 1kg of beef uses 15,415 litres of water to produce.

      I hate your comment but love your source. There’s no perspective when you say 1 kg of beef uses 15415 L of water to produce. Is that a lot? Is that a little?

      Your source puts that into perspective - it’s a lot. But I wish they’d put it into calories/L of water. I don’t eat based on kg of food. I eat based on kcal and nutrition
