Delegation in Argentina

This was agreed upon during a meeting with the Secretary of Bioeconomy, Fernando Vilella, who expressed interest in the role that Leaders of Rurality can play as positive examples in their territories to strengthen rural ties and the sustainability of production and he committed to developing a joint agenda.

The province has a longstanding tradition producing yerba mate, a plant species that has given rise to an industry of great economic and social importance, as a source of income for thousands of family farmers.

At the event, Argentine researchers showed how their country is at the forefront in the implementation of cutting-edge technologies and sustainable agricultural practices to help achieve that goal.

Aimed at technologies applied to agriculture, the call for projects will be open until 6 October and will exclusively prioritize areas related to the development of biomaterials, waste biorefineries, bioenergies, bioinputs and bioventures.

Approximately 2,000 persons attended the event, including producers, researchers and various stakeholders from the agrifood value chain.
