Impact
We build a sustainable agricultural system that places soil regeneration, animal welfare, natural resources conservation, water system resilience, greenhouse gas emissions reduction, and rural employment opportunities at the centre of our livestock/crop operation.

SOIL MANAGEMENT
We strive to build well-structured, healthy, living soils rich in nutrient density, microbial diversity, and soil organic carbon to improve our farmland’s long-term fertility and resilience.
We do so by systematically applying proven regenerative agriculture practices such as adaptive grazing, diversifying crops, preserving ground cover, minimising soil disturbance, reducing synthetic pesticide and fertiliser use, and monitoring soil health regularly.
ANIMAL WELFARE
We are committed to the ethical, humane treatment of animals across our operations.
We provide open-range, grass-fed conditions for livestock year-round, manage stocking rates rigorously to provide ample space for natural behaviours, and supply clean water and a balanced diet tailored to our beef cattle's breed, age, and health.
We follow rigorous ethical veterinary standards, carrying out regular health checks, vaccinations, and prompt treatment of illnesses and injuries. We don't use any growth-promotion hormones and enforce our livestock's humane handling and transport.
NATURAL RESOURCE CONSERVATION
We dedicate one-third of our portfolio area to conserving natural and water habitats and seek to create a sustainable, harmonious balance between our farming activities and their surrounding ecosystem.
We are undertaking a detailed inventory of our flora and fauna and carrying out various initiatives to preserve and improve local ecosystems (e.g., planting different species of native trees in "desperdicios"/unproductive areas and maintaining hedgerows, field margins, and other wildlife habitats).
WATER SYSTEM RESILIENCE
We manage existing water resources responsibly, expanding capacity where possible to optimise yields, nutrient cycling, soil regeneration, and soil carbon sequestration.
Even though our properties have abundant natural water sources from streams and ground wells, we dedicate 2% of our land to collecting, storing, and distributing rainwater for livestock and crops.
We are investing systematically in sustainable water management, building new reservoirs at three properties, and developing distribution networks to supply high-quality water directly to paddocks across our livestock operations.
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS REDUCTION
Our farms in Uruguay all connect to a national grid, which boasts 98% renewable energy generation.
While our regenerative beef cattle grazing and forestry operations are inherently carbon-negative, we are addressing the carbon-positive nature of our row crops and rice activities.
For example, we are conducting a detailed evaluation of our net carbon footprint to guide us in reducing our emissions and commercialising high-quality carbon credits.
Rural Employment Opportunities
We believe in supporting the local workforce and fostering community engagement and development.
Our operations generate meaningful rural employment opportunities.
We provide our staff with fair and safe working conditions and on-the-job training.
