Water Matters Most - Randy Record

$\"\"$

Except for the air we breathe, nothing is more important to life on earth than water. Humans can live up to 60 days without food but only a few days without water. So water is life and the worsening climate is severely impacting life as we know it. In California alone it is estimated that nearly a million acres of previously productive farmland will be fallowed in 2021. Inevitably the food supply and food costs will be impacted. Randy Record farms and invests his time in seeking water solutions. He has a vineyard and is on the Metropolitan Water District (LA) Board where he has served as Chairman. Randy has a clear eyed perspective on the water challenges we face and faith that building trusting relationships between cities, agriculture and environmental publics is a key for progress. www.farmwater.org
