Here Are Some Other Interesting Water Consumption Facts Relating to Food Production

Slice of pizza = 42 gallons of water

That’s 18 gallons for flour, 21 gallons for the cheese, and nearly 3 for the sauce.

 

Dozen eggs = 660 gallons

Chickens require water-intensive grain feed as well as water for drinking and irrigation.

 

Pound of lettuce = 30 gallons

Vegetables require less water to produce than animal products.

 

Loaf of bread = 288 gallons

Wheat is big. Between 1996 and 2005, global wheat production contributed 15% to the total water footprint of all crops.

 

Bar of chocolate = 317 gallons

A pound of chocolate requires 3,170 gallons of water for production so if you reduce it to a candy bar it is about 1/10th of that.
