Meat-Eaters Soaking Up the World's Water

A change in diets may be necessary to enable developing countries to
feed their people, say scientists

by John Vidal
Guardian/UK

Governments may have to persuade people to eat less meat because of
increasing demands on water supplies, according to agricultural
scientists investigating how the world can best feed itself.

They say countries with little water may choose not to grow crops but
trade in "virtual water", importing food from countries which have
large amounts of water to save their supplies for domestic or
high-value uses.

With about 840 million people in the world undernourished, and a
further 2 billion expected to be born within 20 years, finding water
to grow food will be one of the greatest challenges facing
governments.

Currently up to 90% of all managed water is used to grow food.

"There will be enough food for everyone on average in 20 years' time,
but unless we change the way that we grow it, there will be a lot more
malnourished people," said Dr David Molden, principal scientist with
the International Water Management Institute (IWMI), which is
part-funded by the British government and is investigating global
options for feeding growing populations.

"The bottom line is that groundwater levels are plummeting and our
rivers are already overstressed, yet there is a lot of complacency
about the future," the IWMI report says.

"Western diets, which depend largely on meat, are already putting
great pressures on the environment. Meat-eaters consume the equivalent
of about 5,000 liters[1,100 gallons] of water a day compared to the
1,000-2,000 liters used by people on vegetarian diets in developing
countries. All that water has to come from somewhere."

The consensus emerging among scientists is that it will be almost
impossible to feed future generations the typical diet eaten in
western Europe and North America without destroying the environment.

A meat and vegetable diet, which most people move to when economically
possible, requires more water than crops such as wheat and maize. On
average, it takes 1,790 liters of water to grow 1kg of wheat compared
with 9,680 liters of water for 1kg of beef.

In its report, the IWMI says it it unlikely people will change their
eating habits because of concerns about water supplies. "And in many
sub-Saharan countries, where the pressure on water will increase most
rapidly in the next 20 years, people actually need to be eating more,
not less," the report says.

Anders Berntell, the director of the International Water Institute,
based in Stockholm, said: "The world's future water supply is a
problem that's ... greater than we've begun to realize.

"We've got to reduce the amount of water we devote to growing food.
The world is simply running out of water."

Research suggests that up to 24% more water will be needed to grow the
world's food in 20 years, but many of the fastest-growing countries
are unable to devote more water to agriculture without sacrificing
ecosystems which may be important for providing water or fish.


The option of increased world trade in virtual water seems logical,
the scientists say, but they recognize that it depends on countries
having the money to import their food. "The question remains whether
the countries that will be hardest hit by water scarcity will be able
to afford virtual water," the report says.

The best options for feeding the world, it says, are a combination of
hi-tech and traditional water conservation methods. Improved crop
varieties, better tillage methods and more precise irrigation could
reduce water consumption and improve yields.

Drought-resistant seeds, water harvesting schemes and small-plot
technologies such as treadle pumps [simple foot pumps] all have the
potential to boost yields by 100%, the report says.

The scientists did not examine the use of GM foods which have been
hailed by some companies as the way to avoid big food shortages.

"Even without GM foods, in many parts of the world there is the
potential to increase water productivity. Even without them there is
hope," one of the report's authors said.

Another option considered is that of farmers using more urban waste
water for irrigation. It is estimated that up to 10% of the world's
population now eat food produced using waste water from towns and
cities.

Cities are predicted to use 150% more water within 20 years, which
will be both a problem and an opportunity.

"This means more waste water but also less fresh water available for
agriculture. In the future, using waste water may not be a choice but
a necessity", the report says.

The authors say western governments need to change their policies:
"Agricultural subsidies keep world commodity prices low in poor
countries and discourage farmers from investing [in water-saving
technologies] because they will not get a return on their investments.

"Land and water rights are also needed so people will invest in
long-term improvements."

I just found a place where I can get a whole processed deer
for $38 - less than $1 a pound.

Mmm, I'm hungry now. Mix it with some lean pork. About 80/20 heavy on the venison. Throw it on the
Weber for a good cooking. The ground pork picks up the charcoal flavor. A very good, low fat dish.

Okay, I kill and eat Deer meat, but it is not my favorite tasting
meat. Would appreciate a link to or a couple of good Venison recipes.

At a recent family get together at a lowlife relative of my ex's, the
ground meat and ketchup loose sandwhiches had an odd taste. Some asked
is this venison, and someone else added, no, they wouldn't do that to
us on Christmas.

I always get a kick out of these posts that meat eaters are wasting all

most of the western United States. There isn't enough water in most
places to grow crops. What little water there is is so wide spread that
the only thing that grows is crested wheat grass and sage brush.
Fortunately the crested wheat grass is what cattle eat and the spring
which have insufficient flow for irrigation but have sufficient flow for
water of live stock and wild life are wide spread.

So in their theory ( after they are city dwellers with all that book

of water necessary to grow cattle feed ) they have never been on a
honest to goodness farm/ranch. If they had they would find that the
lack of water dictates what kind of agriculture is practiced. If you
have lots of water you grow food for human consumption, (and cattle
feed) if you don't have lots of water but lots of ground that then you
grow cattle.

Remember in the high desert you get 10 inches of moisture per year of
which more than 75% is evaporated back up into the atmosphere.

Could have been older deer. They don't taste as good. Younger deer
have a dark red color, especially if you are looking at ground.

Now there's a thought to conjure with.... I made a chili with a nice
bit of filet beef on Monday which was ready for last night. The really
important thing about this is:

==> do not allow your Maine coon cat to eat any, because then it will
jump up on to a high shelf in the kitchen, and proceed to projectile
vomit in random directions while looking totally unconcerned. Cats
apparently sneeze at the fastest velocity of any animal, and what I
got out of the way of wasn't much slower....

Still, that said, I like the idea of ground beef and big chunks of
meat!

I can tell you guys aren't from around here. I never hear the term "venison"

About any recipe for beef works for deer if you take the fact that the deer
is exceptionally lean and sometimes a bit tough. Boiled recipes (soups,
stews) work the same excpt that you just need to boil longer. A pressure
cooker is great.

Prim cuts from the younger does are my favorite as they aren't too tough to
just slap on the charcoal grill and paste with BBQ sauce.

If you use ground deer, then you may want to add a bit of fat if you plan to
fry as 'burgers.

I had some exceptional deer sausage (Virginia style) once but, other than
the fact that he added pork fat, I don't know the recipe.

I add venison to Elk as Elk is a very mild meat that needs to have
something done to it. Elk on it's own is almost bland. When you cook
elk steaks and roasts, a little liquid smoke, Worcestershire sauce,
garlic and onion oil works real well to give it some body. I have found
that Caribou is the same way.

Last time I did, it was about 2.5 oz for the year.
2 oz more than your brain. Drink lots of water, as your brain has a

Many thanks. I run sorta an impromtu cat rescue..when folks throw them
away..they tend to wind up at my place...Im feeding about 20 of them,
some feral, some handleable. I give away the kittens pretty easily,
but the adults are more problematic.

Ive been fascinated by the coon cats, and would someday like to be
owned by one. Not many of them in California it seems, and I cant
bring myself to spend the money to buy one.

futzing to stop us when we have our goals laid out.
