Relationship between water with food

Water represents 60% of body weight in adult men and 50-55% in adult women. This implies that there must be a balance between the intake of water and the person’s conditions. But, in addition, our body not only benefits from the direct consumption of water, but also through food.

Benefit of water in agriculture

Agriculture is the sector that absorbs most of freshwater resources, constituting 70% of total consumption. However, this use is usually inefficient. Springer irrigation, widely used in large agricultural areas, requires large amounts of water, and a significant part evaporates before reaching the ground.

In addition, the collection and reuse of water are not common practices, while the use of pesticides, fertilizers and antibiotics in agriculture can cause contamination of water resources.

Impact of the climate crisis on food production

The climate crisis further complicates the relationship between water and food. Drought is considered a kind of imminent pandemic: 1.5 billion people already suffer from water stress, a figure that will increase to 47% in 2030. In addition, phenomena such as the exacerbation of drought in some countries and the rise in sea level in the Pacific islands affect food production, threatening food security.

Conscious management by companies

Regarding the celebration of last year’s World Food Day, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations urged companies to manage water responsibly. This means making a concrete commitment to improve the efficiency in the use of water resources and reduce the use of pollutants along supply chains.

This will not only have positive repercussions on nature and society, but also on companies: careful management of water resources can improve their image and benefits and help them avoid problems such as: water scarcity, floods, pollution or, more serious, could expose their activities to risks in the future.

In this sense, Rain of Life atmospheric water generators are an immediate and effective response to this need, since these are equipment capable of condensing the humidity of the air and potabilizing it by recreating the natural process of rain and obtaining PURE WATER, of superior quality than that of most of the bottled water on the market.
