Californian farmers plough forward efforts to improve water productivity with the meeting of leading growers, policy makers and technology providers

There is insufficient water to meet the demands of agriculture in California. Not only is the Golden state suffering its fourth straight year of drought, but demand for the available water is at stretch point as the population grows and grows. …

It’s estimated that state water allocations could be 15 per cent of the amount requested – without action now agricultural losses could grow to $3 billion.
