In Chile's remote south, the country's gateway to the Antarctic, the worst drought in half a century is hitting cattle ranchers and vegetable farmers, leaving the earth so dry in some areas that grass cannot grow for grazing.
"The wind picks up and dries everything and the grass does not grow, that is the drama we're facing," said Hector Garay, a livestock farmer in the region.
"If there is no irrigation water, water from rain, the grass does not grow. We are talking about what is going to be missing, food for our cattle," he said. "There is no longer any hope of recovering it because there's no water, we don't have any to irrigate," she said.
