美国网友讨论：美国的农业问题正在加剧

@ToudaHell
THIS. Is why i gave up on environmemtalism and a career in environmental sciences after studying it for 10 years in post secondary institutions. Every part of this is a dagger to my heart again. There is no hope when the government itself is against environmental protection and public health.
 
这就是为什么我在中学后学习了10年环境科学后放弃了环保事业的原因。每一部分都像一把匕首刺进我的心。政府本身反对环保和公共健康，根本没有希望
 
@gripshaft
Don't worry, Trump is gutting environmental agencies and science and research grants, so you wont know how fast all these corporate profits are killing you.
 
别担心，特朗普正在削减环保机构和科学研究拨款，这样你就不知道这些公司利润是如何快速地杀死你的。
 
@niemi5858
This should not come as a surprise to anybody. In today's America, greed and corruption have become what makes it "exceptional".
 
这不应该让任何人感到惊讶。在今天的美国，贪婪和腐败已经成为让美国“卓越”的原因。
 
@JCI-w2t
It's funny how we never learn. I remember learning about rotating crop types to reduce agricultural run offs and increase profitability back in high school over a decade ago. It's a win win, but yet people still choose to purposely harm themselves.
 
有趣的是，我们永远学不到东西。我记得十多年前在高中学习过轮作以减少农业径流并提高盈利性。这是双赢的局面，但人们仍然选择故意伤害自己。
 
@ashishpatel350
Seemed to gloss over the fact that American farmers are heavily subsidized group in the world. And they still keep on asking for more and more handouts
 
似乎忽略了一个事实，那就是美国农民是全球补贴最多的群体之一。但他们仍然不断要求更多的补贴。
 
@rado22
Use of alfalfa to increase nitrogen levels in the soil is well known. Alfalfa is also sold as animal feed. Win win for everyone, except for the fertilizer and natural gas industry
 
使用苜蓿来提高土壤中的氮水平是众所周知的。苜蓿也作为动物饲料出售。对每个人来说都是双赢的，除了肥料和天然气行业。
 
@carterwgtx
I’m tired of so many farmers pretending they grow food and we’d just starve without them. 35% of corn goes to ethanol fuel, 10% goes to industrial products, another 20+% is exported, and majority of the rest goes to animal feed. You couldn’t design an ag system less efficient at producing real calories people actually eat if you tried. We need fundamental change in our ag system.
 
我厌倦了那么多农民假装他们种植的是食物，如果没有他们我们就会饿死。35%的玉米用于乙醇燃料，10%用于工业产品，超过20%的玉米被出口，剩下的大部分用于动物饲料。如果你想设计一个更低效的农业系统，来生产人们实际食用的卡路里，你可能都做不到。我们需要根本性的农业系统改革。
 
@abdulrahamnabdulrahman-i4u
Iowa's senator received half a million from Aipac but still cannot fund to resolve this issue. Stop voting for a such
 
爱荷华州的参议员收到了来自AIPAC的50万美元捐款，但仍然无法为解决这个问题提供资金。别再投这种人的票了。
 
@PEdulis
"I would say this food production system is the envy of the world" No, it certainly is not. We in Germany but also in other European countries are happy with our more sustainable food production which might still be improved but we do not wish to import what the US wants to sell to us and calls food.
 
“我会说这个食物生产系统是世界的羡慕对象。” 不，它绝对不是。我们在德国以及其他欧洲国家，对于我们更加可持续的食物生产感到满意，虽然还可以改进，但我们不希望进口美国想要卖给我们的“食物”。
 
@phillipphil1615
Same problem in France in Brittany, the pig farm slurry is used as fertilizer and the rain washes part of it into rivers and the ocean.  Causing algea blooms that wash up on shore. Ferment and release SH gas to toxic levels.
 
法国布列塔尼也有同样的问题，猪场的粪便被用作肥料，雨水将其中一部分冲入河流和海洋，导致藻类繁殖，最终冲上岸。发酵并释放出有毒的硫化氢气体。
 
@nitsher
It’s hard for me, a person from an Africa country, to believe that this is happening in a country such as the USA; this is just against common sense!
But then I read the comments section and it gets more ridiculous:
People are not discussing the facts and trying to find a solution; instead they’re blaming each other speaking about their political leaders as they were Saints.
 
作为一个来自非洲国家的人，我很难相信这种事情居然发生在像美国这样的国家；这简直违背常识！
但是当我读到评论区时，情况变得更加荒谬：
人们不是在讨论事实并寻求解决方案，而是在相互指责，谈论他们的政治领导人，仿佛他们是圣人。
 
@juditrotter5176
A few years ago my husband and took a river tour down the Danube River.After just a few days of eating and drinking meals adhering to the EU regulations several of our chronic issues were gone. The tours took us to a German family farm. It was truly amazing
 
几年前，我和我丈夫参加了多瑙河的河流之旅。仅仅几天遵循欧盟规定的饮食和饮品，我们的几个慢性问题就消失了。旅行中，我们去了一个德国家庭农场，真是太令人惊叹了。
 
@RiccardoD-j2t
In the United States, corporate interests often shape environmental policies, leaving ordinary citizens to bear the financial and ecological consequences.
 
在美国，企业利益常常决定环保政策，留下普通市民承担财务和生态后果。
 
@whateveification
I grew up in an agriculture community and my family were ranchers that dabbled in farming (didn't grow for profit just to feed our own livestock). We went on a tour of various types of ranches around a few different countries in Europe to see how they did things. I remember they had really strict regulations in capturing animal waste and how much fertilizer could be used on a field based on size. We considered it excessive and an overreach of government. Now I'm starting to understand why they had just strict regulations.
I want to clarify though that it's not the small farms that are the problem. It's the large corporate farms that only care about profit rather than protecting the land for future generations. These large farms are driving small farms out of business and preventing the next generation from being able to make a living from farming.
 
我在一个农业社区长大，我的家人是做牧场的，他们也做些农业（不是为了盈利，而是为了喂养我们的牲畜）。我们曾参观过欧洲几个国家的不同类型牧场，看看他们是如何操作的。我记得他们对于收集动物废料和根据田地面积使用多少肥料有着非常严格的规定。我们认为这过于苛刻，是政府干预过度。现在我开始理解为什么他们有如此严格的规定。
不过，我想澄清的是，问题不在于小型农场，而是那些只关心利润的大型企业农场，它们并不考虑保护土地，确保未来几代人可以继续耕种。这些大型农场正在将小型农场挤出市场，并阻止下一代人通过农业谋生。
 
@thegreatxyz
This is a similar problem that have in the Netherlands. It is one of the most problematic problems we have at the moment because of a combination of nature preservation regulations by the EU that were passed to reduce nitrate emissions. Now we are in a nitrate emission deadlock, a lot of construction projects to build homes or businesses trying to expend are stopped if there are any nitrate emissions that could end up in protected nature zones. Those nature zones are rapidly decaying, some native plans and wildlife will likely disappear from  these zones. Drink water projects are becoming more expensive, housing is becoming unaffordable, farmers are being pressured to sell their farms or rapidly change.
 
这是荷兰面临的类似问题。由于欧盟通过的自然保护法规，目的是减少硝酸盐排放，这现在成为了我们目前最棘手的问题之一。我们正处于一个硝酸盐排放的僵局中，很多建筑项目，如住宅或商业扩建工程，一旦涉及可能进入保护自然区域的硝酸盐排放就会被停工。这些自然保护区正在迅速退化，一些本土植物和野生动物可能会从这些区域消失。饮用水项目的成本越来越高，住房变得无法负担，农民面临着被迫卖掉农场或迅速改变的压力。
 
@TruthHurts-o3j
Can't help comparing this to Australia. In 1992 the Australian government took steps to turn farms and sheep and cattle stations to become organic. The figure today is 92% and companies like Monsanto have been driven out of the market. Australia now exports organic meet and grains all over the world and crop yields are amongst the highest in the world.
 
不禁拿它和澳大利亚做对比。在1992年，澳大利亚政府采取措施，让农场和羊场、牛场转向有机农业。如今这一数字已达到92%，像孟山都这样的公司被排除在市场之外。现在，澳大利亚出口有机肉类和谷物到全世界，作物产量位居全球前列。
 
@OttoDeCalumnias
Sit on a chainsaw in action and then tell which tooth has scratched you. It's not only Nitrates in the water: It is Glyphosate, PFAS, Phtalates, Hormones, Solvent vapors, Lead paint and residues, Tobacco, Alcohol, Junk Food, Antibiotics, sud particles from diesel exhaust, platicisers, NO², microplastics in the food chain, etcetc. and more to come.
For a little short-sighted profit, the multinationals have poisoned entire genarations. It will take many decades to clean up the mess, and until then: Hundreds of thousands will suffer a lot.
 
坐在正在运作的链锯上，然后告诉我哪个齿轮刮伤了你。水中不仅仅是硝酸盐：还有草甘膦、PFAS、邻苯二甲酸盐、激素、溶剂蒸气、铅漆及残留物、烟草、酒精、垃圾食品、抗生素、柴油废气中的细小颗粒、增塑剂、NO²、食物链中的微塑料等等，未来还会有更多。
为了短期的利益，跨国公司毒害了整整一代人。清理这些烂摊子需要几十年时间，而在此期间：成千上万的人将遭受巨大的痛苦。
 
@davidallen2077
My brother farmed 40 acres of plums in California's San Joaquin Valley. He lived on the property, with his wife and (later) 3 kids. For years the household water that they used came from a well on the property. They drank it, cooked meals with it, and bathed in it. My brother's wife was diagnosed with lymphatic cancer, which she eventually succumbed to. Eventually he developed prostate, bladder, and colorectal cancer, one after another. He 'overcame' each one, with the aid of drugs, treatments, and major surgery, but died fairly young. I always (and still do) suspected that the well water was contaminated with a toxic brew of ag chemicals (pesticides, herbicides) present in the Valley aquifer. After watching this, I wonder if nitrates were actually the problem. Thanks for this sad, illuminating story.
 
我哥哥在加利福尼亚的圣华金谷种植了40英亩的李子。他和妻子以及（后来）3个孩子住在农场里。多年来，他们家使用的水来自农场上的一口井。他们喝水、做饭和洗澡都用的是这口井水。后来我哥哥的妻子被诊断出淋巴癌，最终去世。之后，我哥哥相继患上了前列腺癌、膀胱癌和结直肠癌。他在药物、治疗和大手术的帮助下“战胜”了每一种癌症，但还是早逝。我一直（直到现在）怀疑这口井水被加州谷地的农业化学品（杀虫剂、除草剂）污染了。看完这个，我开始怀疑其实是硝酸盐造成了问题。感谢你分享这个令人悲伤且发人深思的故事。
 
@cyclONEnation56
The people who love Iowa and live here want regulation, even family farms, but corporate farms and law makers fight against them.
The people of Iowa want change, but we don’t have the power anymore. Corporate farms, special interests do.
 
那些热爱爱荷华州并且住在这里的人希望能够进行规范管理，甚至是家庭农场，但大企业农场和立法者却与之作对。
爱荷华州的人民想要改变，但我们已经没有足够的力量了。大企业农场和特殊利益集团才是真正拥有权力的人。
 
@Dannyvirk
I had to stop watching, it was to depressing. We have all the same problems here in New Zealand. Rivers and lakes I swam in as a child, I wouldn't put a toe in now.
 
我不得不停止观看，实在太令人沮丧了。我们在新西兰也有相同的问题。我小时候曾在的河流和湖泊，现在我连脚趾都不敢碰。
 
@nikitavanhoose405
So what do you want the farmers to do exactly? I swear some of the woke, directionless people in this country, and in this comment section don't even understand how farming, crops, or the very food that you buy and depend on to live in your grocery stores even works, or gets there. All of these crops require nutrients and fertilizers. Many people don't realize this, but a large majority of the vegetable and fruit crops that we grow, and that you love to eat aren't even native to North America. I say that because the natural nutrient amounts in the soil aren't enough.... They're nowhere near enough. The opulation of our country and world has grown, the demand for fruits and vegetables has grown, and then direct correlation the amount of fertilizer and nutrients used has grown. Now there's a lot of liars out there, who will claim that there are fertilizers that are natural and green and safe for the environment that will do the same thing as these man-made fertilizers, but it's just not true. So if you're genuinely so worried about this issue, rather than whining and complaining about, "Mu Environment", then why don't you do something that's actually worthwhile and will actually make a difference. Start working on, and coming up with some true, effective, natural, environmentally safe fertilizers for instance. That, or just give up eating best fruit and vegetables I guess. That's your two choices until someone comes up with something.
 
那么你到底希望农民做什么呢？我发誓，国内一些“觉醒”的、没有方向的人，甚至包括这一评论区的部分人，根本不理解农业、作物，或者你们在超市里购买并依赖的食物是如何运作的，甚至它们是如何到达那里的。这些作物都需要养分和肥料。很多人没有意识到，我们种植的很多蔬菜和水果，甚至你们喜欢吃的，都不是北美的本土植物。我这么说是因为土壤中的天然养分根本不够……根本不够。我们国家和全球的人口都在增长，对水果和蔬菜的需求也在增长，那么肥料和养分的使用量自然也随之增加。现在有很多骗子会声称，有些天然、绿色的肥料是对环境安全的，并能和这些人造肥料一样有效，但那根本不是真的。所以，如果你真的这么担心这个问题，不如不要总是抱怨“我的环境”，而是做一些实际的、真正有意义的事情，能够真正带来改变。比如，开始研究并发明一些真正有效、天然、对环境友好的肥料。或者，放弃吃最好的水果和蔬菜吧。我猜，这就是你现在的两个选择，直到有人想出更好的办法。
 
@kcludvigson1258
I live not far from Remsen, there's different rules for farmers in this state. There's next to no laws or rules for them regarding their crooked BS & even where there is some, it never gets enforced. And they do nothing but cry about every little thing & how hard & unfair being a farmer is while living in brand new or completely remodeled houses driving brand new 100k trucks.
 
我住在离雷姆森不远的地方，州里的农民有不同的规定。几乎没有什么法律或规定管制他们那些欺诈的行为，即使有，也从来没有得到执行。他们什么都不做，就一直抱怨每一件小事，抱怨当农民有多么辛苦和不公平，而他们却住在全新的或彻底翻修过的房子里，开着一辆新款100k美元的卡车。
 
@Paradox-f2c
I had a conversation with a corn researcher with a major seed company a decade ago, this company had a research project with the intention to develop a corn hybrid that used less nitrogen, the researcher shared that the project was very complex genetically and after a survey of farmers questioning whether or not there would be a demand for such a hybrid (the survey revealed there would not be a demand) the project was scuttled.
The University of Wisconsin is researching a nitrogen fixing corn hybrid that would produce its own nitrogen, a nitrogen fixing corn plant was found in the tropical highlands in Southern Mexico by a Mars researcher It has been awhile since I checked the status of this project.
 
大约十年前，我和一位玉米研究员进行了交谈，他来自一家大种子公司。这家公司有一个研究项目，目的是开发一种使用较少氮肥的玉米杂交品种。这位研究员分享道，这个项目在基因上非常复杂，而且在向农民调查是否会对这种杂交品种有需求后（调查结果显示没有需求），这个项目就被取消了。
威斯康星大学正在研究一种能自行固定氮的玉米杂交品种，一位火星公司（Mars）研究员在墨西哥南部的热带高地发现了一种能固定氮的玉米植物。自从我上次检查这个项目的状态已经有一段时间了。
 
@georgehadley7863
We have the same problem in New Zealand.  Our biggest exports are dairy products and in areas where there is intensive dairy farming the levels of nitrates in the water system is high and as a result pollting the water systems.  However the dairy industry body has huge lobbying power and as a result nothing is done to rectify the problem.  The industry now has a name "Dirty Dairy".
 
我们在新西兰也有同样的问题。我们的最大出口产品是乳制品，而在一些集中养殖乳牛的地区，水系统中的硝酸盐含量很高，导致水源污染。然而，乳业协会有强大的游说力量，因此什么也没做来解决这个问题。现在，这个行业被称为“肮脏的乳制品”。
 
@denisdufresne5338
Why farmers are not transforming their farm in a regenerative one?   Copying the way nature works is the best thing it could happen to farmers.   Nature make plants grow without polluting.    Besides when you know how nature make plant grow then you know how to boost the nature system to grow plant as fast and big as with chemicals.   Chemical companies do not want the farmers to know that otherwise they will  not make any money.
 
为什么农民不把他们的农场转型为可再生农场呢？模仿自然的方式是农民可以做的最好的事情。大自然让植物生长而不会污染环境。更重要的是，当你知道大自然是如何让植物生长的，你就知道如何促进自然系统，让植物长得像使用化学品一样快且大。化学公司不希望农民知道这些，否则他们就赚不到钱了。
 
@laara1426
America, a nation of amnesiacs. So sad because the corporations who are poisoning you make serious bank when you don't remember, can't recall and forget that the land, the water and the food you eat is filled with cancer causing chemicals. Your markets are  crashing. Other countries don't want the chemistry concoctions you call corn. The corporations don't care. You and your families are expendable.
 
美国，一个健忘症的国家。真令人伤心，因为那些正在毒害你们的公司在你们忘记、无法记起或者忘掉土地、水和你们吃的食物中充满致癌化学物质时，赚取了大笔钱。你们的市场正在崩溃，其他国家不愿意接受你们所称的“玉米”这种化学混合物。公司不在乎。你们和你们的家人只是可替代的。
 
@jaypatel-xz6tr
Real question why don't we change it so that we "pay farmers to use less fertilizer, not companies to sell more." If a farmer reduces nitrogen input (through cover crops, crop rotations, precision application, etc.), they get to capture the dollar value of avoided subsidies. This refrxs fertilizer savings as farmer profit, not fertilizer company revenue.
 
真正的问题是，为什么我们不改变政策，改为“支付农民使用更少肥料，而不是支付公司卖更多肥料”？如果农民减少氮肥的使用（通过覆盖作物、轮作、精准施肥等方式），他们就能获得避免补贴的美元价值。这就将肥料节省转变为农民的利润，而不是肥料公司的收入。
 
@timothysands5537
Hopefully this blows up and puts pressure on regulators to correctly focus on balancing the economics and the health of its citizens.  I have family in Iowa and they said they didn't even know about this prent issue there.
I knew about the dead zone in the gulf, but I didn't realize it was the size of New Jersey.
 
希望这个问题能引起广泛关注，并给监管者施加压力，正确聚焦于平衡经济和公民健康。我在爱荷华州有亲戚，他们说自己甚至不知道那里存在这样普遍的问题。
我知道墨西哥湾的“死区”，但我没意识到它的面积竟然有新泽西州那么大。
 
@this_is_all_pointless
I used to work for one of the largest Ag non-profits in the country for a dozen years. I was shocked at how many coworkers died of cancer while I was there. I'm talking about men and mostly women in their early 30s and 40s. It was a clear split between the farm kids and the rest of us from a non-ag background. Everyone who got cancer, grew up on a farm. No one I worked with who didn't grow up on a farm got cancer while I was there. This is all anecdotal, I know. But I have never seen anything like it in any other industry.
 
我曾在全国最大的一家农业非营利组织工作了十多年。在我在那里工作的时候，我对许多同事因癌症去世感到震惊。我说的是那些30多岁和40岁出头的男性和女性。农场孩子和其他没有农业背景的同事之间有明显的分界线。所有得癌症的人都在农场长大。那些不是农场孩子的同事在我工作的期间没有一个人得癌症。我知道这些只是个人经验，但我在其他行业从未见过这样的情况。
 
@kevinviel6177
What do the cancer incident rates look like in wildlife, livestock, and pets?  Yes, different genetics and environments, but useful information.  Remember that the NIH budget is less than 5% of the military budget AND probably less than the new ICE budget.  What impacts us?
 
野生动物、家畜和宠物的癌症发生率怎么样？当然，它们的基因和环境不同，但这些信息依然有用。记住，国家卫生研究院（NIH）的预算不到军事预算的5%，可能还不如新的ICE预算。什么因素在影响我们？
 
@TinyOff-GridHouseResearchLLC
The oil & natural gas corporations are rooted in the commercial farming industry.  Fossil fuel powers the combustion engine of mechanized farming vehicles. Natural gas is synthesized under high pressure, through the Haber-Bosch process, to pull nitrogen from the air and combine it with the hydrogen found in natural gas creating the fertilizer ammonia; used to help modern Farmers grow post scarcity yields of commodity crops like corn as feed for animal meat production and bio-fuels. The primary purpose of commercial food production is to grow manufactured food crops for livestock consumption and biofuels; with little, to no, concern for equitable direct human nourishment.
 
石油和天然气公司根植于商业农业产业。化石燃料为机械化农业车辆的内燃机提供动力。天然气通过哈伯-博施法在高压下合成，从空气中提取氮，并与天然气中的氢结合，生成氮肥氨，用于帮助现代农民种植商品作物，如玉米，供动物肉类生产和生物燃料使用。商业食品生产的主要目的是种植供牲畜消费和生物燃料的制造食品作物，几乎没有关注公平的人类营养需求。
 
@scottschaeffer8920
80% of the air above your head is Nitrogen, why would you buy synthetic, manufactured Nitrogen? In which the raw materials ( some) comes from Russia! It’s called Green Manure crops folks, my grandad used them in the 60s ahead of corn. Oh by the way, the flowers give pollinators a place to go as well.
 
你头顶上方的空气中80%是氮气，为什么要购买合成的、人工制造的氮气呢？其中一些原材料还来自俄罗斯！这叫做绿肥作物，伙计们，我爷爷在60年代就用它们来种玉米。哦，顺便说一下，这些花朵还为传粉者提供了一个去处。
 
@juliane__
The american agricultural society admitting in a reportage, they have a machine park with an average age of 7 years, not knowing much about robotics in agriculture, nor ai, nor alternative farming methods, says everything you need to know about the mentality of most farmers.
 
美国农业协会在一篇报道中承认，他们的机械设备平均年龄为7年，并且对农业中的机器人技术、人工智能以及替代农业方法知之甚少，这一切足以说明大多数农民的心态。
 
@macplus3339
Republicans will say no and deny any medical claim and the Democrats will say yes and give you your medical care and seek changes to make us green and safe... Yet they vote Republican against their own interests so no sympathy from me for your self inflicted injury.
 
共和党人会说“不”，否认任何医疗声明，而民主党人会说“是”，为你提供医疗护理，并寻求改变，使我们变得绿色和安全……然而他们却投票支持共和党，反对自己的利益，所以我对你们自找麻烦的伤害没有任何同情。
 
@DaveK2154
Many countries around the world, who used to buy our crops are now refusing to buy because of the tariffs. However, there was already much agonizing from around the world about the quality of our food exports.  This recent antagonism from the U.S. just gave them the incentive to say no more. Other markets have been found. How long will it be to regain their trust? It will not be in my lifetime.
 
世界上许多曾经购买我们农作物的国家现在因为关税而拒绝购买。然而，全球已经有很多人对我们食品出口的质量表示忧虑。这次来自美国的敌意只是促使他们说“不”的动力。其他市场已经找到了。要多久才能重新获得他们的信任？在我的一生中恐怕不可能。
 
@FooLProoFMPLS
Around 42% of the meat produced in the U.S. ends up going to waste now, yet production continues at full throttle. This cycle persists not out of necessity, but because it allows those at the top to manipulate prices, deepen inequality, and profit while the system strains under the weight of its own inefficiencies.
 
现在，美国生产的肉类中大约42%都被浪费掉了，但生产仍在全速进行。这个循环之所以持续，并非出于必要，而是因为它让上层人士能够操控价格，加剧不平等，并从中获利，而整个系统却因自身的低效而疲惫不堪。
 
@Doodah814
40% of all corn grown in the US goes to making Ethanol.  Ethanol is produced only because corn production is subsidized by the Federal Government. A large part of the answer is to stop subsidizing corn.
 
美国种植的所有玉米中有40%用于制造乙醇。乙醇的生产仅仅是因为玉米生产得到了联邦政府的补贴。问题的一个大部分是停止补贴玉米。
 
@linesided
I feel so sorry for my US friends fed on a diet of overpriced, oversized, under nutrient-rich "food-ish product", it's the inevitable result of big bigger biggest mentality. Real food should be overflowing from the shelves in every corner of the USA. Where are the farmers? I don't see any real food in the country.
 
我为我的美国朋友感到非常难过，他们被喂食的是价格过高、体积过大、营养贫乏的“食品类产品”，这是“大企业、越来越大”的心态所导致的必然结果。真正的食物应该在美国每个角落的货架上满溢出来。农民在哪里？我看不见这片土地上有任何真正的食物。
 
@HBrian-po8oy
Early in this video, water affected by biota is shown as an overwhelming problem.  But, this is not a location where I reside, a bay environment where water is piped in.  I wish there was a way to include this concern -- affected water supplies in conflict with crops -- in the agenda I must examine each day.
 
在这段视频的早期，受生物体影响的水被显示为一个压倒性的问题。但是，这并不是我居住的地方，这里是一个水通过管道输送的海湾环境。我希望能有一种方法将这个问题——受影响的水源与作物的冲突——纳入我每天必须审视的议程中。
