The farmland structure of the Misiones province (Argentina), unlike many other regions in the country, gravitates around numerous small farmsteads –typically less than 30 ha, which are the home of 60,000 families dedicated to forestry, agriculture, livestock raising, fisheries and beekeeping. In this context, the ‘Abundance’ cooperative was established in 2012 with the mission of “offering high quality, biodynamic products to the consumer” and the vision of “becoming, by 2020, a leading cooperative within Argentina in the production and elaboration of ‘Yerba Mate’ while promoting organic and biodynamic agricultural knowledge on the basis of solidarity, proximity, respect to nature and equity”.
