Project Overview

AlproÕs almond supply chain is shaking things up. The goal is to go beyond usual water efficiency targets and set science-based targets for water. The study builds on the Planetary Boundaries Framework, to set sustainable freshwater balance targets for farms in AlproÕs almond supply chain. Establishing more meaningful water targets starts with a need to understand, and relate to, the freshwater context of basins where almonds are sourced, as they are not all subject to the s…
