The adoption of this production model benefits the environment by improving soil health, increases carbon sequestration, optimizes grazing management and promotes a natural balance in ecosystems. This sustainable scheme, which is already applied in three establishments managed by Agroganadera del NOA, experienced a 55% growth compared to 2023, thus positioning itself as a strategic pillar in Grupo Lucci\u2019s livestock production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2024, the incorporation of Rancho Grande, a 7,000-head establishment located in Santiago del Estero, to the holistic management of livestock farming reaffirms and strengthens Agroganadera del NOA\u2019s decision to apply a soil regeneration system. The holistic scheme was first applied in El Carmen and La Porte\u00f1a, covering 23,100 hectares and 14,000 animals in total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Holistic<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHolistic or regenerative livestock farming is a way of planning grazing and field use where the whole team is involved in the goal of feeding and animal care, which results in greater meat production. Among the measures involved, soil regeneration helps enrich the soil and sequester carbon from the environment,\u201d explained Daniel Navarro, Livestock Farming Manager<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Growing service crops contributes forage resources in winter (closed plan) to the holistic model, resulting in a better forage quality in the dry pasture season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe holistic process involves agronomic work on pastures and growing service crops. These crops were grown at Rancho Grande and were used for grazing. It was a way to generate green and growing pasture within a closed plan,\u201d said Navarro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winter crops provide an ecological service by increasing the levels of nutrients, roots, microorganisms and soil permeability, all conditions that will give more strength to summer pastures and which are measured over time from geo-positioned points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Environmental benefits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Holistic livestock farming offers a competitive advantage by optimizing the relation between productivity and sustainability. This approach maximizes the available food per square meter, which reduces the animal\u2019s effort to obtain it and, in turn, makes it possible to increase livestock density without compromising soil preservation. The result is a more efficient production, with less environmental impact and greater long-term profitability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The environmental benefits generated by this model are key to ensure the sustainability of the business. Some of those benefits include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
