m3 of water per ton of these crops produced
up left -> bottom right increasing water requirements
So, /ck/, you think you can eat comfy on more drought-tolerant crops?

white people fuckin up the planet again
i eat lots of banas and the lower fruits there and lots of rice potatoes and corn. so yeah id be fine.
not sure if this is b8 or not?
Please distribute this to all the goddamn hippies who think plant-based milks are: 1) milk and 2) somehow more sustainable than cow's milk.

It's not? And vanilla grows primarily in Madagascar.

Hippies like morality more than actual sustainability.
For instance, they cry out about Roundup-Ready transgenic crop, but plants modified to be more drought, cold and heat resistant are cool as hell and will probably improve our future dramatically.
>Transgenic rice plants overexpressing M. xanthus PPO exhibited more tolerance to water deficit stress than wild-type (WT) rice plants. A, Phenotypes of wild-type and transgenic plants before and after water withholding for 48 to 84 h. B, Changes in ΨW. The results of shoot water parameters are given as a pooled mean of six separate pots with three replicates in each. C, RWC of leaves. D, Soil water content. Wild-type and transgenic rice plants expressing M. xanthus PPO were grown in the greenhouse under optimal conditions for 4 weeks. Well-watered plants were subjected to water stress by withholding irrigation. Cont, Nondesiccated controls; D-36, -48, -60, -72, and -84, water withholding for 36, 48, 60, 72, and 84 h, respectively; M4 and M7, homozygous lines of transgenic rice plants. Values are means ± se of six replicates from two independent experiments. Means denoted by the same letter did not differ significantly at P < 0.05 according to Duncan’s multiple range test.

As expected of the most underrated vegetable.

seems kinda stupid to put the dry weights of some foods but the regular weights of others. Of course it'll shoot the fuck up if you remove 50-80% of the weight

Anyone know why ginger is so water-inefficient outside of the US? My guess upon googling that because it's grown in Maine it's just a pretty wet place, but I could be wrong.
