    Even if we boycott almonds, someone else is buying them. Greed for water is gonna mess things up for so many people. The farmers will be just fine though.

    I find it amazing that a vegan who will eschew honey and decry the water cost of dairy will happily consume almond products that are dependent on the systematic abuse of honey bees, and way more costly to the environment than dairy cows. If they want to call themselves WOKE then they need to educate themselves!

    That explain why we get so much forest fire.... Because we using most of the water on almonds. What people fail to understand is, once you use water to grow almond THE WATER IT USED does not go back to the ecosystem.

    this should not be issue. one california borders ocean. if build or dig small pond fill with ocean water then put plastic tarp over pond at angle. desert sun will cause evaporate hite plastic tarp and slide into separate pond or tank, as fresh water. because hot in dessert. doesn't cost anything like would if washington state would do this to water apple trees.

      Growing almonds in other states would be very risky. The reason almonds are mostly grown in California is because the perfect conditions the weather is just right and the soil is amazing. A fully mature almond tree takes 1.1 gallons of water per week to make the tree happy. The reason I know these things is because I'm a PCA if you don't know what that is I'm basically a plant doctor who helps out farmers
