ARGENTINA HITS A NEW LOW
Meat Culture Between the Metropolis and the Open Countryside.
Argentina combines a beef-producing culture that has shaped the global industry with a wide variety of landscapes, production conditions, and regional identities. The 2028 field trip is designed to showcase these connections not as a series of disconnected stops, but as a shared space for professional experience.
Buenos Aires and the CMDC serve as the international starting point. Patagonia is intended to be a complementary focus and offers a perspective on distance, climate, extensive systems, and the question of how origin becomes visible under specific conditions.
From the international stage of the CMDC to the vastness of Patagonia: a journey designed to bring these connections to life.
THE PROPOSED ITINERARY
Encounters, Expertise, and Landscape.
The nature of the trip is shaped by the interplay between international exchange, practical expertise in meat, and regional experiences. The planned focal points set the direction for this journey.
CMDC World Championship
The CMDC is intended to serve as the international focal point of the field trip: precision craftsmanship, competition, and exchange with experts from various countries.
Meat Industry & Knowledge
The planned subject-specific approaches are intended to present origin, production, science, product quality, and sensory analysis in a coherent context.
Patagonia
As a complementary focus, Patagonia is intended to broaden our perspective on vast landscapes, climate, extensive agricultural systems, and a different regional perspective on Argentina.
PLANNED FOCUS ON PATAGONIA
Where landscape becomes a professional perspective.
Patagonia is not a single item on the itinerary, but rather a region of enormous expanse. Wind, climate, vegetation, and vast distances shape everyday life and alter perspectives on animal husbandry, production, and supply.
For the 2028 journey, this perspective aims to broaden the technical framework: How do natural conditions affect production systems? How is origin conveyed, evaluated, and experienced through taste? And what role do craftsmanship, fire, and communal dining play in a region whose identity is deeply tied to its landscape?
Distance & Origin
Patagonia is known for its vast distances, unique climatic conditions, and the close relationship between the landscape, livestock farming, and regional identity.
Extensive Systems
Where animals, pastures, and weather conditions interact, the demands on production, logistics, quality, and business practices change.
Products & Sensors
Origin only becomes truly tangible from a technical perspective when structure, aging, fat content, aroma, and preparation are considered together.
Fire & Food Culture
Asado combines knowledge of ingredients, heat, time, and community—and brings that expertise to life in a way that can be experienced firsthand.
Science & Practice
The journey is intended to bring together different forms of knowledge: research, practical experience, craftsmanship, and sensory evaluation.
International Dialogue
The CMDC and joint professional meetings create opportunities to explore perspectives that go beyond national routines.
WHY TAKE A FIELD TRIP?
Because knowledge takes on a different depth when you're on the ground.
A M.E.A.T. field trip combines academic context, personal encounters, and shared experiences. It is not the number of stops that matters, but rather the quality of the approaches and the opportunity to discuss observations directly with experts.
Understanding SystemsProduction, quality, processing, and sensory evaluation are not considered in isolation from one another.
Experience the DifferencesProducts, landscapes, and ways of working are compared right where they originate.
Building ConnectionsShared experiences and international exchange have an impact that extends beyond the trip itself.
WHO THIS TRIP IS FOR
For people with a curiosity about the subject.
The field trip is designed for professionals and enthusiastic individuals who wish to gain a deeper understanding of meat quality, origin, and craftsmanship in an international context.
