متن کاملThe Water Footprint of Food Aid
Food aid is a critical component of the global food system, particularly when emergency situations arise. For the first time, we evaluate the water footprint of food aid. To do this, we draw on food aid data from the World Food Programme and virtual water content estimates from WaterStat. We find that the total water footprint of food aid was 10 km in 2005, which represents approximately 0.5% o...
