I feel breathless Fresh air Which had been crossing the country for a few weeks. Without things throwing butter to the ceiling, there is A clearer horizon. And in this – and when not? – Agriculture plays the most important role.
Live cow. We also have hope for Vaca Muerta, mining, lithium, software, and whatever comes next. But these days there has been strong talk again about Harvest, which is coming very well. From a trade agreement with the Trump government, which involves opening a A share of 80 thousand tons of meatfour times more than what is in effect so far. It is still subject to a very heterogeneous package, which includes steel, aluminium, patents, etc. But no one doubts it. The new relationship with the United States goes beyond financial support By Treasurer Scott Besent.
But also We have our problems. The ominous scene’s One million hectares were flooded in the Salado Basinthe karma that has passed us since the time of the territorial conquest, and which became more dramatic at the time of the Second Pampas Revolt. It’s not just a matter of “business not done”; Maybe it’s time to rethink the old master plan design. Even more so in the era of climate changeAs all phenomena become more extreme. We will not exhaust the topic in this column. We suggest just that We must end the era of correction.
Think big. I remember that Esteban BullrichWhen he was a representative, he invited me to his office to talk about the issue, more than ten years ago. It showed me a familiar connection to the Junin region Photo of Sarmiento in Laguna del Carpincho, in the headwaters of the Salado. He was launching a business North Channeldesigned to relieve the bottom of the salado, which flows into the Paraná. The Dutch – who know a lot about floods – stimulated the idea of floods “space for water”Which means giving space to water. One way to do this is to manage the sink at the source. It’s never over. So we don’t even know if it will be useful.
Engineering continued to provide solutions. The indescribable Elon MuskDefinitely the most important man in history, known for Tesla, Starlink, and the X-Platform. Yesterday he launched construction of Gigabay, a factory in Texas that will produce 1,000 missiles a year. He’s thinking about Mars but here on Earth there’s also the Boring Company, a company that specializes in that Open tunnels for transporting people, objects, and…water. In California, there is a tunnel project tens of kilometers long to bring water from Lake Tahoe to the San Joaquin Valley, which is affected by chronic drought.
In the short term, rural towns must be protected and reconnected. But from now on we have to think big. There are experts with enormous technical and human dimensions, such as the engineer Pablo Pericartotoday in the CABA government – which was formed in the Netherlands. You can make substantive contributions.
I insist: It is not a matter of “draining the water”. The big issue is pelvic managementwhich is essentially Buenos Aires, but has tributaries from the provinces of San Luis, Córdoba and La Pampa. You need to see not only the surface water streams, but also the ground water streams. A lot of money from multilateral credit organizations (the World Bank in particular) was invested in the master plan. It’s definitely time to reevaluate and redesign.
From a broad perspective, the first thing that stands out is that the “problem area” includes a million people Cities that could be more prosperous. But it is also less than 300 kilometers from the AMBA region, where 50% of the country’s population is located. And the ports of Buenos Aires, La Plata and Mar del Plata. The Netherlands is smaller than the Salado Basin, but it is one of the largest producers of intensive agriculture and livestock on the planet.. Pigs, cheese, tulips, Wageningen University. It has taken them many centuries since then They decided to stop drowning. “God created the world, but Holland was made by Dutch engineers.”
