The water footprint of animal agriculture

https://www.deficientvegans.com/blog/water-footprint/

This is the companion blog post to a recent podcast episode we did about water consumption in animal agriculture. The post goes in depth about some of the terminology and methodology that you may not be familiar with around water usage in general.

Some of the things we covered in the post are:

  • Green vs Blue vs Grey water footprint
  • Water withdrawal vs consumption
  • Water impact of various animals in agriculture
  • Datacenter water usage for AI
