The BIG 3 Global Crises
1. Global Warming
2. Water
3. Food
![Page 14: EC2 Co Co San Sustainable Farm presentation July 29 2014](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061102/53f6214e8d7f729a7f8b4643/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Ag & Food Systems Causing Global Warming
1.80-90% of Ground and Surface Water is used for Ag (USDA)2.19-29% of GHG emissions are due to Ag & Food System (CCAFS.CIGAR)3. 56% of non-CO2 emissions are due to Agriculture (CCAFS.CIGAR)4.32% of GHG are due to Electricity (much pumps water for Ag) (EPA)5. 1.5 to 2% of GHG are due to fossil fuel based Fertilizer production and distribution (UN)6. 18% of GHG emissions due to Deforestation and other land use changes due to Ag (UN)7. 28% of GHG are due to Transportation (much moves Ag) (EPA)8. Up to 40% of Agriculture Spoils between field and mouth (UN)9.Up to 25% of Global Warming is due to Agriculture (UN)
IT IS UNSUSTAINABLE

Global Warming is Causing a Water Crisis
UC Davis, July 15, 2014• 3rd driest year in CA on record• More drought years ahead• Demand for water at all time high• Surface water reduced by 1/3• 6.6 million acre-ft shortage of surface water (2+ trillion gallons)
(1 acre-foot = 325 851.429 US gallons; 2,150,619,431,400 gallons)• Ag pumped extra 5 million acre-feet of groundwater at a cost $454 million• Groundwater use increased from 31% to 53% of Ag needs• $810 million lost in crop revenue• 2.2 Billion Total loss in revenue to California• 17,100 Jobs lost (most seasonal and temporary)• 428,000 acre decrease in CA cropland predicted in 2014 alone
IT IS UNSUSTAINABLEhttps://watershed.ucdavis.edu/files/content/news/Economic_Impact_of_the_2014_California_Water_Drought.pdf

Global Warming is Increasing the Food Crisis
Food Bank Serves about 160,000/Month, 28% Children
Mt. Diablo Unified School District Serves 3,750,000 Meals/Year, all with produce, fresh produce prices increased about 20% recently
Household Food Insecurity in 2008-2010 in California: 15.9%
1 in 8 are hungry; 12%; 868 million (UN: FAO 2010-2012)
UN says worldwide food production must increase 70% in next 50 years
Yields from rain-dependent agriculture could be down by 50 percent by 2020 (IPCC) http://www.unwater.org/statistics/
CURRENT Ag CAN NOT SUSTAIN THE WORLD’S POPULATION

Part of a Solution?
1. Locally grown, Urban Ag
2. Close to water reclamation facilities
3. Recycled Water (preferably high in nitrogen)
4. High-tech Greenhouses
5. Bio-intensive, Permaculture methods

TURKEY’s Greenhouses Feed Europe
• 4th in world for fresh vegetable cultivation • 11th in world for fresh fruit production• Agricultural exports nearly tripled in 8 years -- from
$1.7 billion (2002) to $5 billion (2010) (excluding processed food)• About 135 acres of fresh produce grown in greenhouses• Turkey took steps to boost its greenhouse production in
2000 by drilling 54 geothermal wells in the south-east •Geothermal greenhouses in SE cover about 26 acres• Europe constantly looking to increase its imports of
tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and herbs produced by hydroponics - demand is outstripping supply
