The province of Petorca, three hours north of Santiago de Chile, is the epicenter of the water conflict in the country. Once in this area the river of the same name flowed powerfully, and the territory was luxuriant and flourishing. Now the shore is a desolate and dry bed, the river no longer exists. There are only photographs to testify its passage. The avocado industry implanted in the 90s with the neoliberal model are damaging the environment and causing irreversible damage to local ecosystems. 2000 liters of water are needed to produce just a kilo of avocados. It has become impossible for smaller farmers to cultivate their land or raise animals, so people are leaving in an attempt to remake their lives elsewhere. Finding themselves with the water network dry, the inhabitants are forced to use the water trans- ported by tanker trucks paid for by the state. Industrial avocado farms took possession of the water obtaining the rights of use from the state thanks to the water code approved in1981by the Pinochet military regime that privatized rights of water. The Movement for Water and Territories together with the Eco-Feminist movement fight this situation finding alternatives to environmental disaster, death of ecosystems and climate change.Among these Food sovereignty and agro-ecology that wants an ecosystem restoration through reforesting, establishing polycropping systems, rescuing native seeds. The export of Chilean avocados to the United States, Europe, China and Argentina, among others, is constantly increasing. It is a healthy fruit,part of most of the healthy diets, it even becomes the object of gadgets and parallel productions, such as cosmetics. The dehydration of the territory due to the extensive cultivation of avocados is another example of human modification of an eco- system with consequent serious problems for the local population to support the market for a diet that is defined healthy in the West.
