A growing worldwide drought will cause food prices to soar
Many of the foods we eat and the beverages we drink require tons of water. Beef and milk are highly water-intensive to produce.

When comparing beef burgers to plant-based burgers, plant-based burgers require a lot less water for production.

As for the types of milk and the amount of water needed for production, oat milk and soy milk are the least water intensive.

As rising water prices and droughts hurt the food supply chain and eat up more of consumers' pockets, we will see plant-based food and beverage producers like $BYND and $OTLY seeing high demand for their products. Their products are less water-intensive than conventional foods. Also, because they require less water for production, the prices of those items will grow less than the price of dairy milk and beef.

These beaten-down food startups look like bargains at their current prices in the scenario where these startups are our best hope in feeding a world amid a worsening drought.
