Argentina, a country often associated with economic turbulence, is quietly leading a biotech start-up revolution in agriculture.
Home to a third of Latin America’s ‘deep tech’ start-ups, companies like Unibaio, Beeflow and Punabio are breaking new ground.
We explore how a blend of scientific talent, venture capital and cutting-edge research is transforming farming. While Argentina is becoming a global player in agricultural biotechnology, can this boom be sustained amid the country’s economic and political challenges?
