Among the pending initiatives to be dealt with by Congress, Paats assured that there is “a project of Good Agricultural Practiceswhich has already been written and placed on the legislators’ table, on which 92 institutions from the agricultural sector worked, including institutions such as INTA: there, as in other issues, we must wait for the new Congress and get to work, and convince deputies and senators that this is the way”.
The importance of the next elections for the countryside
Therefore, from Barbechando, it was indicated to be watch out for the 2023 elections “We understand that from December 10 we can surely put on the table the beginning of the formation of a rural bench and of an agricultural front in Argentina. We are working on that,” he said.
He also assured that there must despite the “pragmatism” between the different legislators and political spaces that they assume following the elections and urged to take into account the path of generating public policies, as it did Brazil: “our neighboring country managed to multiply its GDP by five in the last twenty years through the adoption of this type of policy. Meanwhile, we, at the same time, did nothing, and today we are we all fought and we continue the same with half the country full of poor people“.
Paats pondered the work that the Foundation has been carrying out within the framework of the National Congress, where he assured that “there are some thirty deputies who are directly or indirectly linked to the agricultural sector. Although this is not important to stimulate the adoption of public policies, since for example in Brazil, the majority of legislators are of urban origin but they recognize that what is good for agribusiness is good for Brazil,” he said.

“The ruling party itself presented a project a few weeks ago where increases the share of diesel from 5 to 20%and this was not because it occurred to them, but because there were many sectors working with legislators, including Barbechando, where they were shown the benefits of raising the quota,” Paats explained.
The field estimates it might create a million and a half jobs
The entity, through a document, publicly stated that before the new global demands will have to feed more than 10,000 million peopleand abide by technical requirements and health issues from the countries that purchase food and raw materials that must have a sustainable approach and in line with the use of renewable resources.
According to Barbechando, to accompany this productive process, it will be essential to advance in the Armed with a public-private alliance in Argentina and with a strong work in the governmental and legislative field.
