    One agave plant makes from 2 to 5 liters of tequila (of course that's depending on the size of the plant and the proof of the liquor).

    Because it's a cactus made to survive on little water. What they're going to use/sell it for we'll have to wait and see, there's no shortage of mescal or tequila.

      agave spirits, yes... but tequila, won't.
      it's illegal to call it "tequila" if it's not made in mexico , therefore they can't sell it..they'll have to rename it ...and with a different name is gonna be hard to sell, even if it's the same thing

    Smart! Even though California is the most populous state, agriculture uses over 75% of CA's water supply. Almonds are one of the most water intensive crops and they are still everywhere here. It is madness.

    Climate change is accruing worldwide and not just in the US. There are worldwide droughts in Europe, Asia, Africa, North and South America is being reported daily in the news as river water levels drop. The rise in climate temperatures are melting the ice caps and raising the sea levels as sources of fresh water diminishes as rivers and lakes dry up.

    shifting your crops in response to climate, that's called survival, keep trying to grow the old crops when the climate doesn't support it, species ending. Evolution, Change, Moving On, we can't keep growing the same crops in the same places. the Bread Baskets are going to have to move to new areas for successful production.
