Like California, it relies on snow melt to irrigate crops, it produces world-famous wines, and it supports vibrant cities like Santiago, the capital.\u00a0Chile has been identified by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change as having seven of nine characteristics that are vulnerable to climate change, including\u00a0increased temperatures, a reduction in rainfall, and crop relocation from north to south as increasing temperatures and changing rainfall alter current growing areas.<\/p>\n<p>As we learn how Chile is adapting to climate change, we understand that the challenges they face are the same challenges we experience in California. Given how important agriculture is to Chile, they&#8211;like us&#8211;are serious about invasive pests.\u00a0Upon arrival on Sunday, we saw dog teams inspecting luggage and familiar information about not \u201cpacking a pest\u201d was clearly evident as we made our way through customs.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14236\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14236\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-14236\" src=\"http:\/\/plantingseedsblog.cdfa.ca.gov\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Santago-customs-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plantingseedsblog.cdfa.ca.gov\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Santago-customs-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/plantingseedsblog.cdfa.ca.gov\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Santago-customs-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/plantingseedsblog.cdfa.ca.gov\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Santago-customs.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-14236\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chile asks travelers to leave invasive species at home.<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"x_s2\">On Monday, the delegation visited with the U.S. Ambassador\u00a0to Chile, Ms. Carol Perez. Ambassador\u00a0Perez was well aware of the recent Napa\/Sonoma\u00a0fires\u00a0as well as the drought conditions that California has experienced. Chile has similar climate change impacts, including an eight-year drought as well as its own fires fueled by strong winds that have devastated agricultural crops and towns. The country is home to several glaciers that are now melting due to\u00a0a warmer climate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_s2\">The morning was completed by visiting the Ministry of Agriculture in Chile and hearing from a wide group of leaders and experts, including those in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ucdavischile.org\/en\/aboutUsChile\">UC Davis Chile program<\/a> working to create a platform for collaborative research between university and\u00a0 Chilean researchers to support life science innovation in both Chile and California.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_s2\">Climate change is very real to the people of Chile and the government has worked to create climate change adaptation plans that are being implemented at the state, regional and\u00a0local\u00a0levels &#8211; elements like securing water resources, studying genetic resources such as plant varieties, controlling pests, and providing extensive information to growers. Like California, there are mitigation commitments in Chile for greenhouse gas emissions &#8211; the country is targeting a 30 percent \u00a0reduction from 2007 levels by 2030.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14238\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14238\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-14238\" src=\"http:\/\/plantingseedsblog.cdfa.ca.gov\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/lettuce-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plantingseedsblog.cdfa.ca.gov\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/lettuce-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/plantingseedsblog.cdfa.ca.gov\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/lettuce-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/plantingseedsblog.cdfa.ca.gov\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/lettuce.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-14238\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chilean hydroponic lettuce<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"x_s2\">We have also learned about programs to make irrigation more efficient, including infrastructure plans to retain up-to 80 percent of the country&#8217;s snow melt; and we visited a hydroponic lettuce production operation in\u00a0Quillota, which is in central Chile northwest of Santiago. The growers use a mostly automated system that produces fresh lettuce in 21 days and yields about 13 harvests per year compared to two or three in soil systems.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_s2\">Our delegation looks forward to learning more about irrigation technologies and how they are adapting to climate change. Agriculture is eight percent of the Chilean GDP and a major contributor to their export markets. Close collaboration between Chile and California is key to assisting both regions adapt\u00a0to climate\u00a0change\u00a0and continue to produce food that feeds\u00a0the world.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_s3\"><em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Secretary Ross is in Chile this week for an exchange\u00a0on climate change adaptation.
