Michael Caine apparently is similar. I see no other reason why he would have done the (wonderful) movie "Water".
Can someone explain the "invest on food because of water"? As many others I was startled by the mention at the end of the movie.
I understand the reasoning behind "water cannot be easily transported".
But this part:
What became clear to me is that food is the way to invest in water. That is, grow food in water-rich areas and transport it for sale in water-poor areas. This is the method for redistributing water that is least contentious, and ultimately it can be profitable, which will ensure that this redistribution is sustainable.
With such a broad definition of "investing in water", my understanding is that his strategy becomes "invest in nearly everything". Water is needed for food production (which is already a very broad area for investment) but also in countless industrial processes: paper production, silicon chip, anything that uses water a solvent or as a way to cut through things...
My reasoning can not be right because it would basically mean "invest in anything". Can someone please help me make sense of this?
