Chile is advancing toward a nationwide ban on octopus farming, positioning itself as a pioneer in aquatic animal welfare in Latin America.

In October 2025, Chilean Lower House Representative Marisela Santibáñez introduced Bill 17913-12, a groundbreaking legislative proposal supported by seven fellow parliamentarians and advocacy organizations including Fundación Veg and the Aquatic Life Institute. If enacted, the bill would prohibit intensive octopus aquaculture throughout the country, making Chile the first nation in Latin America to implement such a comprehensive restriction on this emerging industry.

The legislation is driven by growing recognition of octopuses as highly intelligent, sentient, and solitary animals whose complex behaviors and cognitive capacities make them poorly suited to the confined, high-density conditions of industrial farming tanks. Experts highlight that octopuses thrive in enriched, individual environments and suffer in crowded setups, raising serious ethical concerns about welfare.

Environmentally, the bill aims to avert risks similar to those seen in Chile's salmon farming sector, including nutrient pollution from shallow-water operations, habitat degradation, biodiversity loss, and potential impacts on wild populations and marine ecosystems. By acting preemptively—before large-scale commercial octopus farms become established—the proposal seeks to protect public health, prevent ecological harm, and uphold higher standards for sentient marine life.

This move aligns with international trends in cephalopod welfare (e.g., emerging concerns in Europe and elsewhere) and challenges the global push toward intensive aquaculture for species like octopuses. If passed, it would set a powerful regional and global precedent, reinforcing the idea that certain animals deserve legal safeguards against factory-style farming.

Jorge Tizón: la psicología y la psiquiatría dejaron de ser herramientas de sanación para convertirse en medios de persuasión y manipulación al servicio del sistema y por ello precisamos una salud mental colectiva, comunitarismo.

This is pinhão, a traditional South American seed from the ancient Araucaria tree.

People in Brazil and nearby regions have been eating it for generations.

if you care about the human costs of the war, you should care about people in developing countries most exposed to the economic shocks. Who are those? 1/

A low-cost and expert-driven medical technology is being used in rural areas in Australia!

The machine is operated by a sonographer remotely (using a gaming controller) and helps perform an ultrasound examination.

Doctor shortages shouldn't mean that patients have to travel more (sometimes for no medical reason), but to use technologies that can extend the reach of medical care.

This is a perfect example of that!

Mientras las empresas farmacéuticas fijen el precio del medicamento de acuerdo a lo que el mercado soporte, seguirá creciendo el gasto de bolsillo y sera mayor el riesgo de una expansión desmedida del gasto en salud resultado de la puja distributiva.

I believe many institutions do, Jane. They establish an unconscious dominance over the domain and develop defences to eliminate any innovation that contradicts their primary bureaucratic goal: to survive at all costs, even at the expense of the stated mission.

Sin embargo, muy pocos estudian e investigan pensadores que construyan la ideología dominante en el gigante asiático.
