Hobbs cancels lease for Saudi-owned alfalfa farm in Arizona
Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs says the state is terminating a lease for a Saudi-owned company that’s been farming alfalfa in Arizona. The company has been criticized for growing a water-intensive crop for export amid the Southwest’s historic drought.
Fondomonte Arizona, LLC has four leases on state trust land in La Paz county. In a press release, Hobbs said she directed the State Land Department to inspect Fondomonte’s farms. She said those inspections turned up some violations of the lease agreements dating back to at least 2016.
She said one of the four leases will be terminated and the other three won’t be renewed when they expire early next year.
“I’m not afraid to do what my predecessors refused to do — hold people accountable, maximize value for the state land trust, and protect Arizona’s water future,” Hobbs said in the statement. “It’s unacceptable that Fondomonte has continued to pump unchecked amounts of groundwater out of our state while in clear default on their lease."
The alfalfa that Fondomonte grows is shipped to Saudi Arabia to feed dairy cows. The company pumps massive amounts of groundwater for irrigation.
The Hobbs administration in April had also revoked permits for the company to drill new wells...

I see, so the CVI mainly is about reacting and adapting to climate change.
