BEEF, FIRE & PERSPECTIVES
Argentina cannot be understood from a distance.
In Argentina, beef is much more than just a product. Pastures, breeding, animal health, cutting, aging, the fire, and shared meals are all part of a culture in which technical decisions and social significance are directly intertwined.
The 2027 excursion builds on the experiences of the 2026 trip and takes the concept a step further. The focus is on real-world connections, personal encounters, and the question of how origin, process, and craftsmanship shape quality.
A journey for people who want not only to see meat culture but also to experience it in its professional context.
THE PROPOSED ITINERARY
From Buenos Aires to Iguazú.
The travel itinerary combines the international focus of the CMDC with expert insights into Argentina’s meat industry and a planned landscape component that allows visitors to experience the country’s vastness firsthand.
CMDC World Championship
The CMDC brings together experts, precision craftsmanship, and international perspectives. It is the main event of the planned trip in the fall of 2027.
Argentine Expertise in Meat
The planned expert sessions are designed to provide a hands-on experience of origin, production, science, quality, sensory analysis, and practical processing as an integrated system.
Iguazú
The waterfalls are intended as a supplementary component of the trip. They enhance the educational tour by introducing an extraordinary landscape and offering a new perspective on Argentina’s diversity.
SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTISE
The system behind the product.
As was the case in 2026, the new excursion will not view meat in isolation. What matters most is the interplay of factors that transform a raw product into meat of traceable quality and a distinct meat culture.
Production & Origin
How husbandry, feeding, genetics, and regional conditions shape the character of beef.
Science & Quality
How animal health, raw materials, and process decisions are related to meat quality and sensory characteristics.
Sensors & Product Knowledge
How quality is perceived, compared, and evaluated from a technical perspective—from the raw product to the sensory experience.
Cutting, Aging & Practice
How technical decisions influence texture, juiciness, flavor, and the meat's subsequent use.
Asado & Fire
How fire, wood, time, and heat come together in Argentina to form a distinct, refined meat-eating culture.
International Exchange
How conversations with experts and participants bring different perspectives together.
MORE THAN JUST EVENTS
Knowledge arises from interaction.
A M.E.A.T. field trip combines academic context with firsthand on-site experience. Group tastings, discussions, and a behind-the-scenes look at processes provide an insight that cannot be replicated either in a classroom or through tourist visits.
