Antofagasta, Chile suffers from water scarcity, aridity and resource privatization, severely impeding its agricultural potential. These conditions have led to tremendous local innovation in desert-climate agriculture. In consolidating research, production and education, this project aims to foster food sovereignty, community resiliency and sustainable development in the Northern coastal region.
