Meet the Author: Florencia Ramirez

By 2030, two-thirds of people living on this planet will not have enough water, a situation that will result in the deaths of millions and an unprecedented rise in military conflicts. Can we as individuals hope to reverse these dire predictions? An award-winning author and water activist, Florencia Ramirez, believes we can if our conservation efforts focus on the 70 percent of fresh water flowing to the fields and ranches that grow our food.

Eat Less Water takes the reader on a journey to meet America’s food producers growing food with less water. Ramirez exposes the seldom-seen connection between dwindling water resources and the choices we make when shopping for groceries, and offers a solution that begins in the kitchen.

“Eat Less Water is as clever as its title. It’s a thoughtful book complete with recipes that are as good for your taste buds as they are for the planet. Read it and learn. Read it and eat. Read it as a reminder that our world’s most precious resource is in jeopardy—and yet we can do something about it. Read it to find out how.” —Thomas M. Kostigen
