Water Footprint

In this reading assignment, students will review the pages on the Water Footprinting website including the amount of water used to produce a food product, produce food packaging and additional costs to the individual product, consumer overall expense.  As students watch the Michael Pollen video and read the Water Footprint Network website, students are asked to consider the impact of fossil fuels and water footprinting to help gain valuable insight into the hidden costs of water usage and how this affects operational costs of the grower, farmer, producer, and/or supplier.
