Choles Voice memo Addressing The Problem:
Victoria: In this short clip Johnathan Foly goes into depth about how the type of agricultural influence that we have had on our farm and crop land has made devastating impacts to the world of food as we know it. The enormous use of water in the industry has caused many downfalls such as the drying up of the colorado river. The river that was once filled with sustainable water now no longer flows into the ocean as it once did over 70 years ago. The expansion of farming has also developed unethical farming regions such as in Deserts that contribute to the large loss and overuse of water. vid clip
