' The stress on the West’s water supply due to alfalfa is especially acute in Utah: A staggering 68% of the state’s available water is used to grow alfalfa for livestock feed, even though [it makes up] 0.2% of the state’s income....
Phoenix’s backup water supply is being drained to grow alfalfa by Fondomonte, owned by Saudi Arabia’s largest dairy company, which it ships ... back to the Middle East to feed its domestic herds. '
