These foods consume the most water

27. November 2019 Raffael-Hofmann TZ19 Zurich, Energy knowledge (1)

Hello everybody,

Today I saw an interesting report on Blick.ch which I would like to share with you.The report mentions which food needs how many litres of water. 

In this table you can see how many litres of water each food needs.

Wasserverbrauch für den Anbau von Lebensmitteln pro Kilo von Warenvergleich.de.

Environmental sinners cocoa, coffee and meat

Cocoa and coffee in particular consume a lot of water: at 27,000 litres per kilo, cocoa has the highest water consumption, followed by coffee at 21,000 litres and beef at 15,490 litres.

If certain results surprised you it would be nice to write a comment on my post?

Kind regards,
Raffael TZ19

    Interesting image. I do wonder how they calculated this "virtual water" average, there's a source of warenvergleich.de but without a link. This kind of generalized information should be viewed critically!
    However, it's interesting to build a relationship and question.
