Blessed with lush, fertile pampas grasslands, moderate rainfall and endless horizons, Argentina unsurprisingly built its global fame as an agricultural powerhouse exporting truckloads of corn, wheat and soy while serving up succulent grilled steaks at home! Farming singularly employs almost 600,000 Argentinians today while contributing over 8.5% directly to national GDP through cultivated land spanning over 15 crore acres.
But in the race to bulk up production through GMO seeds, mono-cropping and heavy agrochemical usage for maximum profits, the cracks in this farming model are catching up. Rapid deforestation, soil depletion, loss of native species and rising cancer cases in farming belts signal serious environmental and social impacts needing urgent course correction today.
