Newton doesn’t like meat plan — and Hamzawy is (surprisingly) not optimistic

Newton doesn’t like meat plan: The Al Masry Al Youm columnist writing under the pseudonym Newton published a letter from a reader saying the plan to import one mn head of cattle to produce 1,000 tonnes of meat will cost Egypt 15,400 liters of water per kg of meat produced, in addition to costs of services and slaughterhouses. The water scarcity leaves Egypt in a position where it has to choose between that project or to produce the equivalent of four mn tonnes of wheat.
