Uruguay, a place to live and invest in.

As a uruguayan, you may feel it, but reading in one of the most prestigious papers of the world that although there may be more prosperous countries in the world, but no one with such overlapping possibilities of living well and  without ruin, is not only touching but also rewarding. Sometimes not as valued as it should be, being a country highlighted as the most agricultural country of the world in relation to its size and population, is not casual. It is a fact!

Farm Land that produces natural meat

In addition, we could perfectly say that the uruguayan way of life includes beef as a trademark. However, the system of production is a trademark as well. Uruguay cattle is grazed in pastures equivalent to 2 football pitches per animal, without hormones or antibiotics. Reasons to say that sustainable farmland is possible in Uruguay.

The quality of uruguayan beef is highlighted in the most demanding and challenging markets. It holds a sustainable cattle industry . Walter Baethgen -a soil scientist member of the I.P.C.C. that won the NObel Prize in 2007-  is mentioned in the article of the NY Times. He said that “the grasslands  function a lot like forests: the grasses pull carbon from the air, converting it into plant matter through photosynthesis. As cows graze, bacteria in their stomachs help break the fiber down. That is a metabolic process that builds protein-dense muscle but also methane as a byproduct, which gets burped out. This cycle becomes problematic only when these ecological processes fall out of balance. But in Uruguay, since the 90´s the production has increased without increasing greenhouse gasses and even more, all this in natural grasslands.

Peaceful lifestyle in the most agricultural country of the world

The writer of the article depicts a very peculiar way of life that is the main characteristic of the uruguayan countryside. The country is valued for what is offers. Examples of lives moved to Uruguay after having everything abroad. There is also a testimony of an executive who experienced the reality of learning to live with less to make his life a better life. All these surrounded by the peaceful atmosphere of watching the gauchos- traditional rural workers in typical clothes working with cattle. Typical characters of the inner part of Uruguay, the gauchos are well depicted by Noah Gallagher and so is their peception of change. There are less rains, there are windmills, but they concern about what they can do.
