Arid lands, Saudi Arabia responds by

To solve the problem of lack of alfalfa for the cow herd, Saudi Arabian dairy company decided to buy land half way around the Earth to grow grass.

This information may sound absurd but nothing fictional here. Due to climate change, drought, Saudi Arabia cannot grow alfalfa, so the country has to spend money to buy grassland in another country . Specifically, Arab milk Almarai has bought about 5,600 hectares of agricultural land in West America, enough to supply alfalfa for 170,000 dairy cows in his homeland.

Saudi Arabia deals with drought by buying more agricultural land in another country.

It is worth noting that this is not the first time a foreign company has bought land in the United States to grow alfalfa. China, United Arab Emirates have done the same. It is estimated that about 378 billion liters of water in the United States is used every year to feed grass for cows of other countries. The US earns money from exporting grass but suffers an environmental burden when some areas in the country do not have enough groundwater supplies for people.

The attractive agricultural subsidy policy in the US is also a reason to attract foreign companies to buy agricultural land here. There is nothing worth mentioning if agricultural subsidies are used to support.

For other countries, drought will change lifestyle, residents must reduce water use. But wealthy countries like Saudi Arabia deal with drought by buying more agricultural land without caring about the location or costs.
