The holidays are a time of tradition, lavish feasts, and culinary rituals passed down from generation to generation. However, in the throes of preparation, we often don’t have the time to consider how our holiday food choices and the amount of food we prepare impact the natural environment, especially water resources. With the global water crisis growing and the drought in Poland becoming increasingly serious, our food choices are becoming increasingly important – not just what we eat, but also how much we prepare and how much we throw away. Every food product has a “water footprint,” or the amount of water used to produce it, from the field to the moment it reaches our plate.

Now is the time to take steps to better retain water, store it, and improve plant health in the coming months.

On May 27, one topic dominated in Cracow: how to effectively counteract the effects of drought in our country. Experts discussed the needs and achievements in this area, and students from fields related to water management presented their unconventional ideas. This was the first meeting of this type integrating them around the topic of combating drought. The 2nd “Stop Drought! Start Retention!” Conference, at the University of Agriculture in Cracow, was attended by nearly 200 people. The event was broadcast online on YouTube by Polish Waters.
