Global focus on livestock water consumption

Livestock water consumption will be an increasingly important factor in global assessment of agriculture’s environmental impact, says Italian agri-industry group Carni Sostenibili.

The group says Italy produces beef using 25% less water than the international average.

Carni Sostenibili — literally ‘Sustainable Meat’ — is an initiative of three Italian meat chains: Assocarni, Assica,and Unaitalia.
