And the thing is, we don't even need to curtail farming to the point where it impacts what we (Californians) eat. We just need to stop using California's water to grow things that people in other states (or other continents) eat.
Or charge them more for it, and use the proceeds to pay for expensive water-production and water-preservation technology.
