I live in Hawaii, a very beautiful place, as I'm sure Chile is. However, almost everything we consume is imported, (do to a very complicated set of circumstances) and thus the cost of living here is very high when compared to other places in the country and world (like as you make Chile seem). There is a small, but growing 'grassroots' movement to promote agricultural sustainability and independence here. When i think of south American agriculture i think of Pablo Neruda's La United Fruit Co. i find it interesting and encouraging that the situation you describe is so very positive. Based on what you see, what policies and actions promote such a functioning and flowering (local) food industry?
