迪拜的巧克力需求推动了欧盟 pistachio 的进口, Dubai chocolate demand boosts EU pistachio imports, straining water and farming in Spain and other regions.

迪拜巧克力在全球的起推动了欧盟梨进口量升30%,刺激了水资源紧张的地区如西班牙的农业快速扩张, 果园自2017年以来增长了五倍. Dubai chocolate's global rise has driven a 30% surge in EU pistachio imports, spurring rapid farming expansion in water-stressed regions like Spain, where orchards have grown fivefold since 2017. 该作物的高灌溉需求 -- -- 每公斤1万公升以上 -- -- 使当地供水紧张,而单种种植做法增加了杀虫剂和化肥的使用。 The crop’s high irrigation needs—over 10,000 liters per kilogram—have strained local water supplies, while monoculture practices increased pesticide and fertilizer use. 相配和quinoa也有类似的压力,因为全球需求的飞涨提高了价格,扰乱了日本的传统用途,使秘鲁和玻利维亚的当地民众负担不起quinoa。 Similar pressures are seen with matcha and quinoa, as soaring global demand has raised prices, disrupted traditional uses in Japan, and made quinoa unaffordable for local populations in Peru and Bolivia.
