According to him, only 10% of the sector uses water collected by irrigation systems.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe water is recycled in the [agricultural] process, there\u2019s no water exporting. Sometimes, they say that 15,000 liters of water is required to produce 1 Kg of meat. This is not true, it\u2019s an urban tale. It\u2019s something that was said, continue to be said but doesn\u2019t have any scientific explanation. The truth is that one kilogram of meat doesn\u2019t use one liter of water. We do farming in Brazil without irrigation, it\u2019s only a natural use of rainwater that we have,\u201d said Maggi, closing the debates of the Panel Water for Agriculture and Food Production, according to <em>Ag\u00eancia Brasil<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>*Translated by S\u00e9rgio Kakitani<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits-overlay\" data-target=\".wp-image-112861\">Jos\u00e9 Cruz\/Ag\u00eancia Brasil<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to the minister of Agriculture, 90% of the water used in farms is rainwater and only 10% comes from irrigation systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2316,"featured_media":112861,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[102],"tags":[238,237,173,232,239,240],"class_list":{"0":"post-112860","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-agribusiness","8":"tag-agribusiness","9":"tag-agriculture","10":"tag-blairo-maggi","11":"tag-brazil","12":"tag-water","13":"tag-world-water-forum"},"wps_subtitle":"According to the minister of Agriculture, 90% of the water used in farms is rainwater and only 10% comes from irrigation systems.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112860","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2316"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=112860"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112860\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/112861"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=112860"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=112860"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=112860"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
