*NOTE

A hexagonal
piece of cheese is a lot better than a slice.

@somebody

Saved up 13 months for this just to find out I'm lactose intolerant. Bummer!

Word on the street

@somebody

Boy o boy, the last time I had cheese was before the drought, about 5 years ago.

@somebody

I love the fact they're so easy to stack.
Why is this cheese so expensive?
3178L Water
was used to make 1kg of cheese
Cheese, made from cow, sheep, or goat milk! It takes up to 6000 liters of water to produce just one kilogram of the stuff. In this case, most of it is used for animal feed and fodder, so you see, dairy products are really water intensive, no matter how you produce them. Cattle are vulnerable too, with livestock dying worldwide as a result of droughts. We're really not trying to be cheesy here, but next time you want to indulge in some gooey goodness, just know that cheese is water intensive.

Let's get real

Some of us already deal with these challenges every day, while others don't see them yet. If we don't act now, they’ll get worse for everyone. Find out more about what’s happening below, and see how you can get involved in building a better future.

Too much water

Since 2000, flood-related disasters have surged by 134%, inflicting severe social and economic consequences. Floods result in immediate loss of life, property, crops, and livestock. They also lead to health problems like waterborne diseases and malnutrition. Recovery from floods takes months or even years. Additionally, floods harm food production by reducing crop yield, causing soil erosion, and damaging farming infrastructure. They spread pollutants and pose risks to affected communities. Explore our partner organizations for ways to take action.

What can we do about it?

While it's impossible to completely prevent floods, there are several things we can do to mitigate their impact. Our partners strengthen the networks of people, institutions, hardware, investment, and resources that deliver clean water to our taps. They also try to educate as many people on this issue as they can. By sharing this story, you can help tremendously.
