In the Roque Perez region, southwest of Buenos Aires, a Pléiades Neo image shows cattle breeding concentrated around farms and soybean cultivation spread out between them on huge plots.
A protein plant that has become strategic in the industrial breeding of pigs, poultry and cattle, soy represents more than 30% of exports from Argentina, which in 30 years has become the world's leading exporter in the form of flour and oil and the 3rd largest importer of seeds. Used since 1996, GMO soy has simplified cultivation techniques: end of plowing, chemical weeding and direct sowing on plant cover, gradually reducing cattle breeding and reshaping the landscape of the Argentine Pampas.
