Livestock Update
Here they are – our (up to now) 195 beautiful young steers: Black and Red Aberdeen Angus, and a few cross breeds Angus x Hereford (white blazed).
Grass-fed beef production as part of the soil carbon solution.
This project helps our integrated farming system to regenerate the soil for a climate-positive outcome. Animal welfare is our top priority.
We have separated 70 hectares and sown a multi-species pasture, which provides diverse nutrients for the steers. The cattle are roaming the pasture and helping to incorporate plant residues into the soil.
The building of the multipartite fence construction started in August 2021 – a big undertaking. Every day, the cattle are moved to a different plot, to make sure there is no overgrazing taking place. The short time grazing triggers the growth effect of the plants and lets them grow even faster. It allows their roots to develop more deeply into the ground and loosen up the soil. These stronger and longer roots have better groundwater access.
Behind this concept stands a dedicated network of experienced agronomists and cattle managers. All our team members enjoy treating animals and nature in the best possible way.

Lab Without a Roof
At La Delia Verde we are passionate about systemic change in the agri–food–health sector, and we work daily to make it happen.
People often ask us: “How do you know regenerative agriculture works?” We know because we work, we observe, and we measure.
Recently, we took part in a pilot case study done by CampoGIS and funded by 5th World, aimed at exploring how different farming systems impact biodiversity in the Pampas region of Argentina. Eight farms, conventional, organic, and regenerative, were observed using field indicators such as:
🕸️ Arthropods | 🐸Amphibians | 🐝 Pollinators | 🦅 Birds | 🌳 Vegetation | 🌱 Land cover
Since 2021, we have planted 2,700 trees. All of them come from stakes grown at our own tree nursery.
Every planted tree is a gift. More shade. More underground life. More flying life around. More nutrients replenished. More carbon captured. More clean air.
We recently enjoyed a wonderful day of professional growth with Hunter CEPT N°10 students, exploring how regenerative farming practices can transform ecosystems.
Moments of knowledge exchange like these lie at the core of what we stand for.
The livestock project is an integral part of our overall Holistic Management System.
Here, the animals live on their pasture, being moved to new parcels on a daily basis. We try to imitate their natural habitat and encourage their natural behavior. In a landscape where they can freely walk and eat a well-balanced pasture mix, open-air, all year round.
