Argentina's 'agri-tech' innovators

Available for over a year

Argentina, a country often associated with economic turbulence, is emerging as a frontrunner in agricultural biotechnology and home to a third of Latin America's start-ups. From shrimp shells to super crops, we explore how a blend of scientific talent, venture capital and cutting-edge research is starting to transform farming - one of the country's most important sectors. While Argentina is becoming a global player in this area, can this boom be sustained amid economic and political challenges in the country?
