Water footprint researchers assigned colors to water to help differentiate the types of water sources: blue, green and gray. Blue water is sourced from aquifers, reservoirs, and rivers that scribble across the landscape. Gray is water tainted with nitrogen, the run-off from fertilizer and manure. Rainwater and moisture are green. Green water places the least amount of stress on our water systems.

Key terms to look and ask for:

  • Rain-fed
  • Dry-farmed
  • Holistic-managed
  • Biodynamic
  • Pasture-raised
