Fallowing fields saves water, but there’s a cost (Grist)

As drought continues to wrack the U.S. West, farmers across the region are halting irrigation and crop production, letting hundreds of thousands of acres go fallow. Sometimes this process is voluntary, like in Southern California, where one water district has paid farmers for years to let their land go unwatered. Other growers are simply being forced into the decision. Nut farmers in California’s Central Valley saw their water deliveries fall to near-zero this year amid the drought; cotton producers in Arizona also took a big water cut.

Agriculture accounts for about 80 percent of Western water usage, so reducing irrigation is one of the most effective ways to save during a shortage. But fallowing also comes with serious economic and environmental costs.

On a broad scale, less acreage in production could mean rising prices for consumers at home and abroad for everything from lettuce to almonds. Farmers in California’s Sacramento Valley, for example, have planted about 30 percent less sushi rice this year than they did in 2019 due to water cuts. As a result, rice imports are expected to reach an all-time high this year, and sushi will likely be more expensive come this winter.

The local economic ramifications are even worse: In places like the Central Valley, farms and agricultural firms are often the largest employers – the migrant laborers who harvest crops, the processing and packaging facility workers, the equipment repairmen, the soil supply salespeople, and so on. Taking land out of service means eliminating many of these jobs.

Then there’s the matter of the land itself. In dry regions like Arizona, farming soil needs constant infusions of water in order to hold together. If you leave land unirrigated and unplanted, the soil can disintegrate into loose dust. That’s what happened during the 1930s-era Dust Bowl, when drought destroyed much of the southwestern U.S.’s farmland, and again in the 1990s when widespread fallowing caused dust storms north of Los Angeles that filled up swimming pools and sent drivers swerving off roads.

Farmland dust also contains high concentrations of particulate matter, which when inhaled over long periods can lead to asthma and cardiovascular disease. This has been well documented in the agriculture-heavy Central Valley, said Andrew Ayres, a research fellow at the Public Policy Institute of California and the author of a report on dust impacts.

🙏🏽 #Repost @vegan.burcu20 ・・・ Zülâl Kalkandelen, ülkemizde “Sivil Toplumculuk”, “İkinci Cumhuriyetçilik” ya da “Neoliberalizm” olarak adlandırılan siyasi akımın fikir babası Prof.Dr. İdris Küçükömer’in tezleriyle tarihsel bir hesaplaşma içine giriyor. 1960’lardan itibaren, Kurtuluş Savaşı’nın emperyalizme karşı verilmediği ve yalnızca Türk-Yunan savaşından ibaret olduğu; Cumhuriyet’in kuruluşunun bir devrim değil bürokratik egemenlik yarattığı; Türkiye’de solun “gerici”, sağın “ilerici” olduğu vb., tamamına yakını günümüzde geçersiz kılınmış görüşler, Kalkandelen tarafından otopsi masasına yatırılıyor. “Batılılaşma” sorunu ve emperyalizmden Ergenekon ve Balyoz davalarına, Ilımlı İslam’dan “Yetmez ama Evet”e, “Kandırıldık!” söyleminden darbelere açılan yelpazede sağlam bir politik zemin oluşturan Kalkandelen, Cumhuriyet ve Aydınlanma’nın sesini yükseltiyor. @veganzulal #bookstagram #bookslife #vegan #book #bookworld #dm #gt #fallowing #kitapkurdu #kitapyurdu #booklike #bookphotography #bookphoto
