  • Sustainable Water Footprint of Avocado Imported to Norway from Chile - Norwegian Retailer’S Information and Influence on Water Management
    Master’s Thesis 2020 30 ECTS The Faculty of Landscape and Society Sustainable water footprint of avocado imported to Norway from Chile - Norwegian retailer’s information and influence on water management Jonas Ådnøy Holmqvist International Environmental Studies Acknowledgments: I would like to thank my supervisor, Professor Espen Olav Sjaastad, for his guidance in academic design, resourceful input and patience. I would like to thank Rema 1000, Bama and Nature’s Pride for forthcomingly participating in this study and sharing openly. Gina is the one I owe the biggest thanks for keeping our family ship shape at all times and patiently made room for countless writing hours. 2 Sustainable water footprint of avocado imported to Norway from Chile - Norwegian retailer’s information and influence on water management Thesis summary This thesis investigates the control regimes of the enterprises constituting the value chain for avocado from producers in Chile to the Norwegian retailer Rema 1000. The Norwegian enterprises Rema 1000 and Bama together with Dutch Nature’s Pride constitute the value chain downstream of the producers. The effectiveness of the combined control regime of the downstream enterprises in ensuring sustainable water consumption in the production is evaluated. The thesis also describes the legal and administrative regime for water management in Chile and conclude that the regime and find that the effectiveness of the enterprises control regime is strongly influenced by the state’s water management. Climatic changes including the mega drought affecting Chile since 2010 is briefly described and is found to have significant impact on sustainability of industrial avocado production. By investigating the water footprint and the effects of the control regime this thesis seeks to analyse what Norweigan importers of avocado are doing to ensure sustainability in the production of exotic fruits and vegetables with a potentially large impact in the producing locations.

  • Towards an Holistic Environmental Flow Regime in Chile
    1 TOWARDS AN HOLISTIC ENVIRONMENTAL FLOW REGIME IN CHILE: PROVIDING FOR ECOSYSTEM HEALTH AND INDIGENOUS RIGHTS Elizabeth J. Macpherson* and Pia Weber Salazar** Abstract A widespread response to the pressures being placed on the ecological condition of rivers is the design and implementation of environmental flow regimes in domestic regulatory frameworks for water. Environmental interests in water are not confined to hydrological functioning but include relationships between water resources and human cultural and economic livelihoods, including those of Indigenous communities. Since the mid-1980s there has been some provision for environmental flows in Chile, however the legal and policy requirements are limited in scope and coverage and have been poorly implemented by regulatory institutions. In this article, we critically examine the treatment of environmental flows in Chilean legal and policy frameworks. We argue that there is an urgent need for a comprehensive minimum flow regime in Chile to protect the environmental qualities of rivers, which must also reflect and provide for Indigenous water rights and interests. The developing constitutional crisis in Chile, the most significant political crisis since the end of the Pinochet dictatorship (1973-1990), highlights the need to revisit the sensitive and unresolved issues of water governance and equity. Key words: environmental flows, cultural flows, Indigenous water rights, water equity and distribution, Chile This is an accepted version of the symposium article for Transnation Enviornmental Law, published by Cambridge University Press, 02 October 2020.

  • Mountain Livestock Farmers and Their Encounter with an Artificial Insemination Project in Paihuén, Chile
    Wageningen University – Department of Social Sciences Rural Development Sociology (RDS) Social transformation and new technologies: Mountain livestock farmers and their encounter with an artificial insemination project in Paihuén, Chile. August 2013 Yenni Valentina Astete Salazar Reg. No. 810527-020-030 MSc Development and Rural Innovation Supervisor: Alberto Arce Second reader: Stephen Sherwood Thesis code: RDS-80430 1 “…Y no hay belleza como esta belleza de América extendida en sus infiernos, en sus cerros de piedra y poderío, y en sus ríos atávicos y eternos...” Pablo Neruda 2 Summary This thesis explores the process of social transformation experienced by mountain livestock farmers, in their encounter with a project of artificial insemination at the rural foothill community of Paihuén, in the central area of Chile. In a broader contemporary process of transformation, the everyday life of the livestock farmers of Paihuén is surrounded by new technologies, institutional policies and market requirements. This new reality has generated a conflicting interaction between the growth of these techno scientific resources –in this case the artificial insemination project- and the development of social and cultural progress in the everyday life of the mountain livestock farmers. To understand the process of social transformation, the mountain livestock farmers’ subjectivity is studied through their cattle management and other livelihoods practices, to later focus the attention in their encounter with the artificial insemination project in Paihuén. The study used actor oriented approach as a guideline to explore the development field, in addition to a conceptual framework to unpack policies. As methods, the research is based on ethnographic evidence: observation/ participant observation, situated conversation, autobiographic interviews and group interviews, complementing these evidences with secondary data analysis.

  • CHILE – Solidarity Action
    CHILE – Solidarity action Rodrigo Mundaca and MODATIMA This World Water Day (22nd March), take action in support of Rodrigo Mundaca and the Defence Movement of Earth, Environmental Protection and the Access to Water (MODATIMA) in Petorca Province, Chile. ‘There are colleagues that don’t go out into the street because they’re afraid. All of those that have been on the front lines against water theft have suffered from these situations’ Rodrigo Mundaca In an arid region of central Chile, Rodrigo Mundaca defends community access to water and exposes its illegal extraction by politicians and businesses. A spokesman for MODATIMA, a non-governmental organisation that aims to protect people’s right to water, Rodrigo has received death threats, been physically attacked, and taken to court. Between 2012 and 2015, the Chilean authorities initiated four criminal cases against Rodrigo for exposing illegal water extraction in Petorca Province. Other MODATIMA members have faced legal action, death threats, and attacks. Many are afraid to leave their houses. Campaigning by activists like you around the world has already had an impact on Rodrigo’s situation. He and his colleague Verónica from MODATIMA were summoned to testify at a hearing on Thursday 25 January in a case that was opened following MODATIMA making a complaint about death threats. Rodrigo believes this new hearing was a result of Amnesty’s campaigning: before our efforts, the case was completely paralysed. However, since Rodrigo and Verónica testified, there has been no news from the prosecution. Rodrigo Mundaca and MODATIMA are one of 5 cases that Amnesty UK are campaigning with and for as part of our Brave campaign for Human Rights Defenders.

  • Geoforum Water Security Chile Revised Second 190918
    Securing the market: Water security and the internal contradictions of Chile’s Water Code Abstract Chile has operated a system of private tradable water rights since 1981. In theory, this framework contributes to water security by instituting private property rights to water to enable permanent access, and by using market transactions to facilitate the reallocation of scarce water to ensure optimal distribution. Yet, since 2010, the country has faced critical water scarcity in several regions, arising from a combination of overexploitation and dry weather. The aim of this paper is to analyse the relationship between water markets and water security in Chile. It has two objectives: to examine how the water policy framework has shaped responses to acute water scarcity, based on a case study of the La Ligua river basin during the 2014-15 drought, and to explore how water-society relations have influenced the nature and implications of these responses. The analysis employs a relational approach to water security that attends to the configuration of hydrosocial relations, as opposed to the supply of water. I make three related arguments. First, the framework fostered supply-led responses to drought that were counterproductive to water security. Second, these responses can be attributed to the privatised and individualised hydrosocial relations under the market system, which now present an internal contradiction by threatening to undermine it. Third, supply-led responses were not merely pragmatic solutions to water shortages, but a means to neutralise this internal contradiction so as to stave off the potential destabilisation of the water policy framework. 1 Keywords Water markets, drought, export agriculture, capital accumulation, hydrosocial cycle, political ecology.
