The dairy farming family in Los Toldos, Carlos Casares district, is engaged in an ongoing struggle against floods plaguing the area. Valentina Luberriaga, an agronomist and producer at the Buenos Aires estate, recounted how recent heavy rains have isolated rural schools in the region, complicating access and educational continuity for local communities.
Furthermore, these downpours have endangered the jobs of 35 workers who depend on the farm's dairy operations and cheese factory. The three-generation family heritage represents not only a productive legacy but also a commitment to sustainability in an environment vulnerable to such weather events.
