If it takes about 2500 gallons of water to produce a pound of meat and 25 gallons are needed for a pound of wheat. Further, if it takes as much water to feed a meat eater for a month that it takes to feed a vegetarian for a year.

In addition, livestock emit considerable amounts methane gas, a greenhouse gas, and contributor to global climate change.

In about three paragraphs with references, would you recommend taking regulatory or legislative action to limit the production of meat and thereby reduce the consumption of water in that industry?

Why or why not?

Answer #1

We will not recommend regulatory action because

1.production of wheat is not everyone as it depends on climatic conditions

2.1gallon meat gives more protien as than 1 gallon of wheat.

3.Methane gas produced in this can be used in biogas plants in rural areas at cheaper rate and carbon dioxide can be used in making dry ice and many other uses also.

If we talk about water consumption then it can be recycled by natural process like water cycle and also it is abundant on earth
