irrigated

Built in 2021, the abolitionist pods are autonomously irrigated, solar-powered geodesic domes that serve as hubs for community empowerment and healing.

The majority of the world's irrigated crops — 72 percent — are grown in just 10 countries, including Brazil, China, India, and the United States, according to WRI.

The high rate of water stress in areas that grow irrigated crops spells trouble for global food security.
