At the Center of the Latin America continent lies a tropical wetland with a biodiversity and local culture so rich that it’s a UNESCO World Heritage site. In this week’s episode we take you into Brazil’s Pantanal region to explore what conserving the genetic heritage of one local cattle breed means for this special ecosystem, for local culture and traditions, and for food security on an increasingly harsher planet.
Along the way, we hear from researchers at EMBRAPA and the State University of Mato Grosso do Sul who are trying to bring back this breed from the edge of extinction, and from a cattle farmers who's family's connection to the Pantaneiro cattle goes back four generations.

Hello. I read about this today and am interested in purchasing some of this cheese. Do you know where I can obtain it?
ReplyDeleteThanks very much,

I read about your herd from an article in Atlas Obscura.

I think what you are doing is fantastic! Thank you very much. I also wanted to encourage you to speak with Brazilian exporters -- I hear that Brazil is the largest chicken exporter in the world. While it may not be a perfect match, I am sure that you can find a food industry that can help you bridge the food exporting gap, so that when you are ready to sell internationally, you'll have the help of Brazilian exporters. Please forgive the machine translation.
Eu li sobre seu rebanho em um artigo no Atlas Obscura.

Eu acho que o que você está fazendo é fantástico! Muito obrigado. Eu também queria encorajá-lo a falar com os exportadores brasileiros - ouvi dizer que o Brasil é o maior exportador de frango do mundo. Embora possa não ser uma combinação perfeita, estou certo de que você pode encontrar uma indústria alimentícia que possa ajudá-lo a preencher a lacuna de exportação de alimentos, de modo que quando você estiver pronto para vender internacionalmente, você terá a ajuda dos exportadores brasileiros.
