\[Note: Please see here for advice on reducing food waste during a COVID-19 shut down.\] Sunday, March 22, is World Water Day, an annual observance organized by the United Nations.

So it is fitting that at this point in time we also reflect on our most precious natural resource – water – which makes the growth of our food possible.
