Quotes by Amanda Little  (?)

“Most of us generate more planet-warming emissions from eating than we do from driving or flying. Food production now accounts for about a fifth of total greenhouse gas emissions annually, which means that agriculture contributes more than any other sector, including energy and transportation, to climate change.”
Amanda Little, The Fate of Food: What We'll Eat in a Bigger, Hotter, Smarter World

“Currently, U.S. soils are degrading ten times faster than they can be replenished. Tilling also dries out soil—it was a key factor causing the Dust Bowl crisis in the 1930s—and disturbs the microbiome.”
Amanda Little, The Fate of Food: What We'll Eat in a Bigger, Hotter, Smarter World

“It takes a gallon of water to produce a single almond; three gallons per olive; five gallons for a pomegranate; seven gallons per grapefruit; nine gallons an avocado. “Water in agriculture is like blood in the body, or vibration in sound, or the wizard in Oz,” Peleg tells me. “It’s the essence of the thing. No water—no food.”
