Almonds are in greater demand worldwide than ever before. The popularity of almond milk has increased the pressure on the industry. But 80% of the world’s almonds are grown in California, where drought, climate change, and the loss of honeybees are working a hardship on almond growers.

We explore the relationship between almonds and their environment, and consider ways to make this important crop more sustainable and resilient in the coming decades. With special guest Dr. Alissa Kendall, professor of civil and environmental engineering at the University of California, Davis.
