Sinn finden durch nachhaltiges Wachstum
Die Landwirtschaft in Argentinien ist auf dem Vormarsch. Die Brüder praktizieren eine Präzisionsbepflanzung, bei der es zum Beispiel in einem Abstand von 10 Metern mal 10 Metern Variationen gibt. Als sie 2009 mit dieser Art der Bepflanzung begannen, hielt sie niemand für so wichtig. Heute tendiert die gesamte Landwirtschaft in diese Richtung, aber die Testas sind Pioniere, die diese Techniken bereits auf 100 % ihrer Produktionsfläche einsetzen.
