25% of World’s Agriculture Growing in Regions of High Water Stress

25% of World's Agriculture Growing in Regions of High Water Stress. More than a quarter of the world's crops are growing in places that are highly water-stressed — classified as areas where at least 40 percent of available water supplies are withdrawn each year — according to a new study from the Washington, D.C.-based World Resources Institute. Researchers say this correlation could increase as demand for food grows and more users compete for scarcer water supplies.
