I live in California and there are vast farms here that provide produce for much of the country. However farms have to share imported water with an ever growing population. The American dream is a house with a green lawn. We get these lawns in our desert areas by using a lot of water. If the urban user doesn't learn to cut water usage the farmer will suffer and in turn the urban user. When it came time to redo my front yard I disposed of the grass and replaced it with random trees, herb and food plants with the main covering being weed block and tree chippings as an overall mulch. I am saving water for the farmer and providing a bit of my own food on space that was just consuming resources before
