This activist unveils the hidden face of Chile’s avocado production

And stop producing more people. Overpopulation is driving most of the planet's problems. The pope could be a major influencer if he really wanted to do something positive for mankind.

Almost everyone, here in Puerto Rico, has (had... before the big hurricane, Maria) at least, a tree or two, for them and to share, with their apt. building living relations. We replanted, 2 to replace the ones that fell. Only another 3-4 years, we'll have our own, again❣️ We rarely purchase one, in a supermarket, either. Only from local farmers' roadside sales.

Algarve have look at this

For goodness sake people, this is not about you, your health or the damn avocado. It is about privatizing WATER. Chile is probably the beginning.

Es irracional , vemos todos los días cómo aumentan cerros con inmensas plantaciones de paltos . Cuando lo veo me pregunto de donde sacan el agua y como riegan en la punta del cerro literalmente . Si puede plante 1 palto y comerá paltas todo el año

we are blessed to have our own trees of avocado in our little garden. it's better to plant vegetables and some trees in your property you can surely have your own organic veg. and fruits. good for the health and environment!

Why is there no hydroponic avocados?

The problem is not the avocado plantation, if there are no avocados sold, they will plant another thing and still keep the bought water rights, while nomal people and nature suffer.

90% of the US avocado supply is produced in California.

Sainte horreur!! Les Amandes et maintenant les Avocados...

Fake news, the New Zealand avocados we eat are grown up the road 5 mins from where we live.

if you drop avocado's I'll drop beef

Yea I will continue to eat my avacados thanks 👍🏽

Avocado wars ... sad but true

water will become the most precious and expensive thing on this planet “

As the human population grows, so does it's demand for resources. Capitalists love that.

A must read. We cannot afford to keep bowing to the big commercial food companies when it comes to man's greatest need - WATER. Companies like Nestle, and now avocado producers 'stealing' water in Chile is just not acceptable. It is ludicrous and unconscionable.How can they possibly sacrifice a vital need i.e. water for humans and wildlife for avocado's....Incredible. Corporate greed has to be challenged, in court if necessary. They do not have the right to sacrifice human/wildlife for corporate greed. We can learn to grow avocado's and other produce in green houses. We need to follow Hollands example. My heart goes out to the people of Chile.

Every single animal based food has a higher environmental impact than every single plant based food. It takes 283 litres of water to produce 1kg of avocados. That is way less than beef at 15,450 litres per kilogram or eggs at 3265 litres per kg. https://waterfootprint.org/en/water-footprint/product-water-footprint/water-footprint-crop-and-animal-products/
