March 22 is World Water Day<\/strong>, a celebration of the precious resource our onions<\/a> need to grow well. At Cebollas Marchite we are very aware of how valuable water is for our crops<\/strong>, which is why we greatly appreciate all the efforts farmers make to use irrigation water as sustainably as possible.<\/p>\n

Why do we need water in the fields?<\/h2>\n

Water is essential for crops to grow and develop<\/strong>. It carries nutrients, helping plant roots absorb minerals. It also regulates soil temperature, preventing extremes that could damage the plants. <\/p>\n

Water availability affects crop yields, and shortages can cause water stress<\/strong>, reducing both the quantity and the quality of food, something we don\u2019t want for our onions.<\/a><\/p>\n

Efficient water management in agriculture is crucial<\/strong> for food security and environmental sustainability. Strategies such as proper irrigation and soil conservation help optimise water use in farming. <\/p>\n

Water on our planet<\/h2>\n

According to 2023 UNESCO reports, 2 billion people (26% of the world\u2019s population) lack access to safe drinking water, and 3.6 billion (46%) lack access to safely managed sanitation. What\u2019s more, this scarcity is expected to worsen in the coming years as climate change intensifies. <\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Where does World Water Day come from?<\/h3>\n

World Water Day dates back to 1992, when the United Nations recommended its creation at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro<\/a>, Brazil, also known as the Earth Summit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
