water rights
Farm production is surrounded by uncertainty. Between planting and harvesting manyrandom events such as plagues, droughts and sudden changes in commodity prices, may affectfarmers’ revenues. Agriculture in arid and semi-arid zones is highly dependent on rainfall, whichintroduces an additional risk during droughts. This research posits the hypothesis that watermanagement in agriculture during droughts strongly depends on the risks farmers face and ontheir expectations, based on past drought experiences.

December, 2009
Chile
Approximately 80% of the world’s agricultural landpresents moderate levels of erosion. In Chile, the risks related to soil erosion are greater in thepre Andean mountain areas or coastal dry-lands. However, there are also indications of low levelsof erosion in the Central Valley which, given the importance of this region for the country’sagricultural sector, should be taken seriously to avoid a worsening of the situation. This articleexamines the association of natural, social, human and fi nancial capital variables with the adoptionof soil conservation practices in Linares, Chile.

land cover
A multitemporal analysis to determine the land cover change was conduced in the pre-Andean range of Maule region of Chile. We used satellite imagery from the year 1989 and 2003 to analyze the likely causes of native forest change. In this period, there was a reduction in native forest area of 44% in the study area, which is equivalent to an annual forest loss rate of 4.1%. The native forest area is replaced by shrublands (29%) and exotic forest plantations (27%). A great proportion of current exotic forest plantations are established on lands that were native forest in 1989 (63%).

Land, Climate Change & Environment
In the Región de Aysen, Chile, Nothofagus antarctica (ñirre or Antarctic beech) forms puré forests called shrubby beech forests and secondary mixed shrub of anthropogenic origin. The aim of this work is to characterize the insect fauna associated to the foliage of Antarctic beech forests and scrublands in the Baker river basin. Insects were collected in spring (October 2006) and summer (January 2007), in five beech forests and 10 scrub patches from latitudes 47°2' S - 72°48' W to 47°15' S - 73° W. Six orders of insects were identified, being Coleóptera the most diverse.

Esto desde la óptica del caso chileno, que por sus características energéticas la mayoría de estas se localizan en entornos rurales, sin embargo es en los territorios urbanos donde esta es mayormente consumida.

Land & Gender
Muchos estudios han abordado el tema de la producción agrícola y alimentaria, incluso respecto del aporte de las mujeres a las economías locales y los cambios de los sistemas alimentarios a nivel global. Sin embargo, en el ámbito rural, muchas veces las mujeres no son visibles, pese a que realizan una gran parte de las actividades en la finca. En general, además, los negocios rurales propiedad de mujeres tienden a enfrentar más barreras y reciben menos servicios y apoyo que los negocios en manos de hombres.
