20 days until departure - reading up on Argentina and ag

The countdown to Argentina is on – 20 more days until I leave. I am very excited.

Did you know that….

·         Argentina was once referred to as “the world´s granary”


·         Argentina bills itself as the “far corner of the Earth” because it stretches to one of the most southernmost points in the world

·         This is the first IFAJ congress in South America

·         Argentina has tripled its production in the last 30 years and feeds more than 400 million people annually

·         It is the world’s leading exporter of soy oil and flour, the world’s second highest exporter of corn and sorghum, the fifth largest producer of wine in the world, the tenth largest producer of milk and the fourth highest exporter of beef
