I’m so glad I discovered this newsletter. I read another one as well that reports in English but I find yours to be more unbiased reporting or (in some cases) more transparent when you’re offering an opinion, and I really appreciate it!
Thanks for this! I am STILL trying to wrap my head around the whole water issue, and just don’t feel I totally understand it. Like, what percentage of those with water concessions could be accurately described as “hoarding” it? And are we talking farmers, like, laborers, or farmers, like, dudes who own a plot of land the size of Mexico City? Need to read more I guess! :D

Important information as always.

Thanks for commenting Sarah - it is a really complicated issue and I barely scratched the surface here! If you do want to read more about it, I'd suggest checking out this 2020 study: https://argumentos.xoc.uam.mx/index.php/argumentos/article/view/1198/1145
