Waking up to the plight of California farmers: how globalization could alter the politics of water
Article Abstract:
The viability of California's agricultural sector is threatened by global competition, which could significantly affect the current stalemate over the state's water supply. Agriculture consumes about 80% of the state's water, suggesting that a water surplus could result if large numbers of farmers are put out of business by market factors.
