To produce a litre of milk, according to the United Nations Organisation for Food and Agriculture (FAO), it takes 1,000 litres of water. Who doesn't consume a tetra brik a day? We know this fact thanks to the water footprint, a concept that measures the consumption of water for goods or services. Its aim is to raise awareness about its rational use, especially now that it is in short supply due to climate change and population increase.
