The article highlights a collaborative effort between INIA Carillanca and the Foundation for Agrarian Innovation (FIA) to cultivate almond trees in La Araucanía, Chile, aimed at adapting to climate change and offering a new farming alternative. The project, which has already seen the flowering of beautiful almond flowers, is experimenting with seven Spanish almond tree varieties across eight hectares, seeking to understand their behavior in extreme agro-climatic conditions. The initial projections anticipate a harvest of about 500 kilos of seed per hectare in the first year, with potential production reaching 3,000 kilos per hectare by the fourth or fifth year. Additionally, the research includes the cultivation of brown type chestnuts and investigations into optimal crop rotations, presenting a chance for farmers to diversify their income sources while adapting to climate change.
