That's right, folks, almond farming is one of the most water-intensive crops out there. To put it into perspective, it takes more water to grow almonds than it does to grow avocados or even wine grapes. And that's a problem, especially in places like California, where droughts are a regular thing.
Now, you might be wondering, what's the big deal about water usage? Well, think about it like this: when you're taking a long shower, you're using around 2-3 gallons of water per minute. That's roughly the same amount of water it takes to grow just one almond. Crazy, right?
