Global water use for food production needs to be reduced remain within planetary boundaries, yet the financial feasibility of crucial measures reduce is poorly quantified. Here, we introduce a novel method compare costs conservation with added value that reallocation savings might generate if used expansion irrigation. Based on detailed accounting through high-resolution hydrology-crop model, m...
