*[Enwl-eng] Half of global food production is at risk. Corporations are making it worse.

Humans and the plants we eat need water. Corporations are wasting it. Corporations Waste Water While Billions Face Starvation and Crop Failures. Demand Government Action Now! Sign Now    I know we're all tired of hearing doomsday predictions. I also know we need to have transparency about the dangers our world is facing, so that we can try to proactively alleviate them.   A particularly terrifying risk that the world is facing right now is a shortage of fresh water — which also means a very real threat to the global food supply.   Experts are raising the alarm, noting that more than 2 billion people already struggle to access clean drinking water. Without urgent action, by 2030 — in less than 6 years! — our demand for fresh water will outstrip the supply by 40%. Within the next 25 years, more than half of our food production could collapse. This is not a distant reality: this is within our lifetimes.   Instead of trying to help, corporate giants continue to waste and pollute water at reckless levels while also contributing to climate change. Around 80% of the water that corporate industries use worldwide is not recycled! Corporate water-draining and pollution is fueled by $700 billion in agricultural subsidies that promote overuse and waste. It's time to hold corporations accountable. We demand that world governments take action by cracking down on corporate water waste and pollution, and implement strict regulations on industrial water use. Sign the petition now!   Thank you, Miranda Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Governments must prioritize communities' rights to safe water and secure food sources over corporate frivolousness.
