Part of the problem is large GMO crop monocultures. Growing such massive yields so densely consumes so much water in a relatively small area, such that the natural water cycle simply can’t keep up and replenish it. A more diverse and lower yield farming practice would not have the same environmental impact. And at some level it comes back to having too many humans (mouths to feed).

Perhaps we can move all those agricultural activities to another area.
