Food Security and Water Safety




The World Wildlife Fund announces the results of a new study that links food security to intact and safe water biotas. 


 

  • A new analysis finds that irrigation with river water accounts for 25% of all food. And 40% of global fish consumption depends on rivers
  • One group that knows how to combat this issue may work in your backyard.  They probably need your help. Find or start a WaterKeeper Alliance group in your community.

Waterkeeper Alliance

Waterkeeper Alliance holds polluters accountable. They are the largest and fastest-growing nonprofit solely focused on clean water. They preserve and protect water by connecting and mobilizing more than 300 local Waterkeeper groups worldwide. Waterkeeper states their goal is "drinkable, fishable, swimmable water everywhere." And water is essential to food security. As a result, supporting the Waterkeeper Alliance is one of the best ways to be a part of water and food advocacy in your community.  Read More, find your local Waterkeeper, and find the link to free Waterkeeper Magazine.
