Description

Argentina formed the National Bureau for Conservation Agriculture on 5 December 1942. Researchers studied soil conservation, erosion control, and environmentally friendly farming practices. Field experiments tested rotational cropping, cover vegetation, and low-impact tilling. Findings guided new national guidelines for sustainable land use. The bureau worked with rural cooperatives to share methods. Its founding strengthened ecological stewardship in agriculture.
