A healthier diet helps reduce water consumption

If people change to healthier diet with more fruits and vegetables, the “water footprint” may drop by up to 55 percent according to a new study.

“The main message is that if we eat healthier, whether with meat or without meat, we will not only be healthier, but also reduce our water consumption significantly” BBC quotes Davy Vanham, member of the European Commission’s Joint Research Center (JRC). (MTI)
