Argentine youth preserve rural and agricultural traditions
In Argentina, young individuals are continuing the traditional rural and agricultural legacies of their families.
In Chos Malal, 18-year-old Ale Bravo is upholding the traditions of livestock breeders. Following in the footsteps of his father and grandfathers, Bravo has taken on the responsibility of caring for his own horse, Pamperito. His daily routine involves tending to the animal regardless of weather conditions, focusing on building a bond of trust and responsibility through field work.
In another instance, Santiago Alem transitioned from a potential career in veterinary medicine to becoming an accountant and agricultural producer. After a conversation with his father regarding contributing to the family business from a different professional angle, Alem pursued accounting. His commitment to the rural lifestyle was solidified during the COVID-19 pandemic when he worked remotely from the family farm, eventually integrating his professional skills into the family's productive activities and livestock operations.
