Initially, the project focused on infrastructure and renovation work at the site to establish a facility for agricultural research, training, and food production. Early plans emphasized the production of fruits, vegetables, and poultry, alongside the establishment of the region’s first strawberry seedling nursery. The facility was designed to utilize advanced techniques like hydroponics and aquaponics in collaboration with INTA to support local producers. Following these developments, the 3,000-square-meter site was formally inaugurated. The project involved the recovery of the historic ‘Los Pinos’ property. Local officials, including Mayor Martín Pérez, characterized the farm as a strategic resource and a “beacon” for improving the city’s productive capabilities and moving toward food self-sufficiency. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-15: Río Grande inaugurates Germán Asencio Agroexperimental Farm Río Grande has inaugurated the Germán Asencio Agroexperimental Farm, a 3,000-square-meter facility dedicated to agricultural research and strengthening local food self-sufficiency. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/ro-grande-inaugurates-germn-asencio-agroexperimental-farm ### 2026-08-18: Río Grande advances Germán Asencio Agroexperimental Farm The Municipality of Río Grande is developing the Germán Asencio Agroexperimental Farm to advance food production research, hydroponics, and training in Tierra del Fuego. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/ro-grande-advances-germn-asencio-agroexperimental-farm --- Cite as: Río Grande Germán Asencio Agroexperimental Farm development.
