Cattle are part of Uruguay鈥檚 DNA. But how does their beef industry compete with mighty neighbours Brazil and Argentina and the threats of climate change?
Cattle are part of Uruguay鈥檚 DNA. There are around four cows to every one of their tiny 3.5 million population of people and beef is their main export. But how do they compete against their mighty, better known neighbours; Argentina and Brazil?
Presenter Jane Chambers travels to the country鈥檚 lush, green pastures to find out about how they keep their cash cow flourishing. She hears from cattle farmers and other people in the beef industry about how they are carving out a niche for themselves and future proofing against the threats of climate change.
