Again, the controversy on the table. Within the framework of the United Nations Climate Summit in Glasgow, Scotland, musician and environmentalist Charlie Alberti said on the show that only a circle from Tennessee, the soil in Argentina is being "destroyed" due to the use of "insecticides." In addition, He also emphasized that our country does not abide by the forest law. People "bought a piece of forest, then demolished it and planted genetically modified soybeans."
In this case, María Beatriz “Pilu” Giraudo, Honorary Chairman of the Argentine Association of Direct Seed Producers (Aapresid) and agronomist, said: “The subject that a musician talks about is closely related to science and science, which shocked me. There are countless counts. The scientific and technological data of China must be studied and analyzed very carefully and carefully. I know that you are worried about climate change, but you have made many conceptual mistakes."
At the same time, Rodolfo Rossi, an internationally renowned geneticist, former chairman of the Argentine Soybean Chain Association (ACSoja), and agronomist, said, “The synergy between biotechnology and live broadcasting (reduction of farming, water saving, and more diverse microbial activities) , Reducing erosion, among other benefits) enable us to continue on the path of sustainable development of agricultural complexes, reducing emissions by reducing fuel use and carbon sequestration, which is an important factor in tackling climate change."
In a conversation with TN Giraudo, the fifth-generation agricultural producer in Santa Fe, he emphasized that the discussions held at the International World Summit on Climate Change every year are effective, so people are “aware of this problem”. Ý Affirmed that “for its part, this issue has been placed on the table throughout the year. It is a permanent process that not only seeks reminders and raises awareness, but also seeks to propose specific actions to mitigate climate change.”
In addition to being a benchmark for the world's agricultural sector in Argentina, Giraudo is also a member of various institutions and initiatives in the country and around the world, where it promotes the defense of sustainable production systems and the potential of the bioeconomy.
“Argentina is a global leader in taking action and achieving results to stop soil erosion. In addition, our production system helps reduce the presence of greenhouse gases,” he explained.
It is worth remembering that in 2017, FAO awarded Aapresid the highest award Glinka World Soil Award, commending him as the "guardian of the earth's soil" and introduced direct seeding. This model has changed our production methods. nation.
Finally, the manufacturer thinks it is "a pity" to use the term "agricultural toxicity" to abuse "technologies such as phytosanitary products, which can be chemical or biosynthetic".
"Today, in order to meet human food needs and fulfill this promise, science has not allowed us to do this without phytosanitary products: we must always use them safely and appropriately under good agricultural practices," He concluded.
Argentina is the world's third largest soybean producer and the first exporter of two by-products: protein powder and oil. Under this framework, Rossi, one of the most famous plant breeders in my country and a pioneer and promoter of agricultural biotechnology in Latin America, believes that soybean is one of the indispensable crops in the national and world economy, and its industrial chain is produced in my country. "A relationship scaffold with more than 350,000 actors, with strong regional influence, can create value and generate real work".
Geneticists emphasize that grains and their by-products are widely consumed in both developed and developing countries as feed and human food. In addition, due to its nutritional properties, it is highly valued in terms of health and plays a "prominent role" in combating malnutrition.
In addition, he added that in human history, agriculture has had a very positive impact, but there are also some negative impacts, such as large-scale deforestation. "Today, the production department has environmental commitments and responsibilities," he emphasized.
Finally, the expert emphasized that a sensitive issue for producers and consumers is the requirements for food safety, but Argentina complies with strict international production and manufacturing standards.
"The responsible use of agrochemicals is of utmost importance in this field. To this end, we have professionals and producers who go beyond the responsibility of adopting best sustainable management practices and promise to provide sustainable food systems based on scientific evidence. Food security”, the end.
