SUSTAINABILITY
“A healthy ecosystem provides healthy food.”
- We protect more than 2000 hectares of native forest, habitat of pumas, peccaries, corzuelas, foxes, hares, armadillos, and a large number of birds to ensure the biodiversity of our ecosystem.
- We certify standards of Good Agricultural Practices and Manufacturing of GLOBAL-GAP
- We are developing a pioneering irrigation system driven by solar energy.
- We participate in Bayer’s PROCARBONO program for carbon balance assessment and carbon balance improvement.
- Reforestation plan.
- We are part of the CAMPO LIMPIO project for the responsible use and discard of phytosanitary containers.
- We participate with CREA, InbioAgro y THE NATURE CONSERVANCY in a project to increase biodiversity in farmlands.

GLOBAL G.A.P
Cultivating the future of the planet
We believe that systematizing our actions and standardizing them with international protocols that guarantee their environmental, social and economic sustainability is part of the company’s philosophy.
We are certified in good agricultural and manufacturing practices.
GLOBAL G.A.P. is the internationally recognized standard for agricultural production. Our core product is the result of years of extensive research and collaboration with industry experts, producers and retailers around the world. Our goal is a safe and sustainable production.
The GLOBAL G.A.P. Certification covers:
- Food safety and traceability
- Environment (including biodiversity)
- Workers health, safety and wellness
- Animal welfare
- This certificate includes Integrated Crop Management (ICM), Integrated Pest Management (IPM), Quality Management Systems (QMS) and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP).
This norm fosters production efficiency and business performance. Furthermore it sets standards to minimise unnecessary waste.
Carbon capture
We are currently analising whether our irrigated highly-productive systems have positive balance carbon sinks. So far results are promising, our irrigated lots have more than 2 crops per year with a high frequency of grasses, such as corn and wheat.
Since these crops are highly productive crops, they capture large amounts of CO2.
