Less water, more cotton. 💧 We’re kicking off a pilot project with Goanna Ag to increase irrigation efficiency for cotton farmers. This new project is another way we’re supporting sustainable water use. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gQEcHSSf

70% of the world’s freshwater is used to grow the food we eat. That means using water wisely in agriculture isn’t just a responsibility — it’s a necessity. For World Water Week, here are five more facts about water use in agriculture (plus, how we protect this precious resource). 💧 1. Climate change affects water availability. 💧 Climate change leads to more droughts and floods, affecting water availability. 💧 2. Healthy soils act like a giant sponge. 💧 Healthier soils store more water — like a sponge — helping to build drought resilience and requiring less irrigation. 💧 3. Water is essential to biodiversity. 💧 There’s a close link between biodiversity and water. We’re working with Global Water Challenge and Ducks Unlimited to revitalize habitats and help keep bees, birds and other wildlife happy. 💧 4. Agriculture depends on clean water. 💧 Every plant and animal needs clean water to live. By helping farmers adopt practices that reduce runoff, we’re helping avoid water pollution and improving water quality. 💧 5. Efficient irrigation saves water. 💧 Using less water to grow more sounds like a win-win, right? That’s why we’re working with precision irrigation company Goanna Ag to help farmers maximize crop yields and minimize water use.
