Social responsibility

Life and work at the estancia.

The farm is 140 km from the nearest town. Employees and families live directly on the farm; La Huella organizes supplies, medicine, transport, and regular trips.

All employees are covered by social security and have access to the state health system.

Families

Education and local work opportunities.

School-age children do not live on the farm. La Huella supports school attendance, boarding costs, and school fees.

Projects for women living on the farm include poultry, egg production, and a hydroponic greenhouse.

Ecology

Only half the land is used for pasture.

The development considered requirements related to the UN-REDD programme. Around 22,000 hectares remain natural habitat for native flora and fauna.

Together with the Wildlife Conservation Society and partners, La Huella works to protect biodiversity, pumas, and jaguars.
