Regional Grasslands and Herders Forum in Uruguay

Overview

In late September 2026, Punta del Este, Uruguay, hosted the Regional Grasslands and Herders Forum. The event brought together approximately 400 participants to discuss food production, biodiversity conservation, rural development, and climate change resilience.

Organized by several Uruguayan ministries and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the forum served as part of the International Year of Grasslands and Herders 2026. During the opening, Uruguayan Minister of Livestock, Agriculture and Fisheries Alfredo Fratti noted that natural grasslands cover about 55% of Uruguay's territory and support nearly 70% of the country's agricultural establishments.
