• Beef requires 463 gallons of water
• Almonds require 483 gallons of water
• Chocolate requires 516 gallons of water

This is what’s called a water footprint. A water footprint is the amount of water it takes to create a food product for human consumption. To make a difference, try swapping in foods with smaller water footprints. Check out the water footprint of different food items, and your overall water footprint.
