Peru’s asparagus boom great for the local economy, not so great for water levels. Asparagus is a thirsty crop, and the part of Peru where it is grown — along the coast — is basically a desert. The climate is great for farming, but the only water there comes when rains high up in the Andes wash through on their way to the sea. (Illustration by Manya Gupta at PRI’s The World)
