Bread


Global average water footprint: 40 litres of water for one slice of wheat bread.

Producing wheat costs 1300 litres of water per kg (global average).
One slice of bread has a weight of about 30 gram, which implies a water footprint of 40 litres.
If the bread is consumed together with 1 slice of cheese (10g), then it all together costs 90 litres of water.
