An expert on my field

Hello everyone: Today I will talk about Miguel Angel Altieri. He studied agriculture at the University of Chile. Later in  l976 Altieri graduated with a M.S. in Agroecology at the National University of Colombia. And finally in 1979 he graduated with a Ph.D. in entomology at the University of Florida.
Two years later Miguel became Professor of agroecology at the University of California and he has remained there until today.
I like Miguel Altieri because he has promoted agro-ecology as a strategy for sustainable development in Latin America. He has also advised important organizations such as: the Latin American agro-Ecology and Development Consortium (CLADES), he was general Coordinator of the United Nations Development Programme, also Altiri was chairman of the NGO Committee Of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research, among other things.
Another thing that inspires me of Miguel Altieri is that it is Chilean like me and this makes me feel that I can go as far as he.

Climate change

Hello everyone: Today I will talk about climate change. Climate change is a reality and no one can say otherwise. Is very important that everyone take conscience of the relevance of this theme because this problem threatens us all. Honestly, I don't think reversing this problem is possible, I think it's possible to stop it so it won't keep getting worse, but I don't think ours world return to be like in the past. However, to manage stop the progress of climate change, it is absolutely necessary that all the countries of the world contribute to this cause.  On the other hand, climate change does not arise as in the movies, a change is slow. It is sufficient to investigate a little Internet to realize that climate change is real, and I find it unacceptable that the President of the United States make statements as retrograde as saying that "climate change is a Chinese invention". Finally, I think that more public policy should be to protect our environment. ...

My favourite photograph

Image
Hello everyone! This photograph is from this last summer, the people who appear from left to right are Esteban, me and Magdalena. We were in the Tatio geysers. I do not remember exactly who took the picture because that day we made several friends who took pictures. This photo I really like because it represents one of the most expected moments for me on that trip. It was a nice but cold experience haha, at that time they did-6 °c so you can imagine how I felt. But the feeling was very pleasant when 20 minutes later I bathed in a thermos in the same place! It was simply unforgettable. There is nothing in this time that makes me happier than traveling, so my favorite photo could not be another. And do you like to travel? Please comment here below what was your favourite trip and why, only if the travels like them as much as my. Regards
