Description

Argentina launched the National Experimental Program for Crop Diversification on 23 November 1942. Researchers tested new varieties suited to different regions and climates. The program aimed to reduce dependence on a small number of export crops. Field stations collaborated with farmers to evaluate performance. Findings supported long term agricultural resilience and economic stability. Its founding expanded scientific exploration of alternative crops.
