Catalonia is the community with the most pigs per square kilometer in Spain. The intensive system annually consumes 30% of the water reserves of the internal basins.
“We produce for the population. Restricting consumption in agriculture by 80% or 50% in livestock farming is letting us die,” they say from Unió de Pagesos del Baix Llobregat. Environmental platforms also consider that there has not been a good strategy to alleviate the drought and manage reservoir reserves.
