"Mexico's Innovative Solution: Controversial Rainmaking Technology to Combat Drought"

Mexico is using cloud seeding, a controversial technology, to combat the effects of an extreme drought that has led to crop losses, water scarcity, and higher food prices. Cloud seeding involves injecting particles into clouds to stimulate rainfall. While Mexico claims success with its current cloud seeding project, many scientists remain skeptical about its effectiveness and warn that it is not a solution to drought. The country's Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development did not respond to criticisms. Some experts advocate for exploring less expensive and high-tech methods to protect water resources, as cloud seeding should be considered only as part of a broader strategy.
