Avocado — Superfood and Environmental Killer

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

Avocados have become immensely popular in the U.S., Europe and China due to their many nutritional benefits and taste

Each avocado requires 70 liters (18.49 gallons) of water to produce, which means the fruits can be environmentally destructive

In drought-prone Petorca province in Chile, avocado plantations have diverted and stolen water, causing streams to run dry and harming local people

Water conservation activists in Chile opposing the water theft receive threats and little government support

In the state of Michoacan, where 80% of Mexico’s avocados are produced, cartels have crowded into the business and terrorized local people
