麻豆社 Minute: On how much water is needed to grow avocados

麻豆社 Minute

Available for over a year

Growing avocados requires a lot of water, and that's a problem in hot, dry places like central Chile. The fruit requires about 10 times as much water as tomatoes. 麻豆社 Minute speaks to environmental campaigner Alex Panez, who has studied water security in the area. (Photo: Avocados growing.
