AFOA realizó el Seminario “Argentina 2030: la Oportunidad de la Foresto-Industria” en el Campo Argentino de Polo, en el que se abordaron temas estratégicos para el sector.
En el marco del evento se firmó el compromiso para los Bosques, por el cual los representantes de las entidades de la cadena de valor foresto industrial manifiestan compartir la visión de “un mundo en el que todos los tipos de bosques y los árboles fuera de los bosques se gestionen de manera sostenible, contribuyan al desarrollo sostenible y proporcionen beneficios económicos, sociales y ambientales para las generaciones presentes y futuras”.
Participaron de la firma el Secretario de Agricultura y Ganadería, Guillermo Bernaudo, el Secretario de Ambiente Diego Moreno y el representante de FAO en Argentina, Francisco Yofre. En representación de FAIMA participó Pedro Reyna, Secretario General.
Por su parte, el Ministro de Agroindustria, Dr. Luis Miguel Etchevehere expresó en el evento: “La foresto industria tiene un potencial multidimensional que está en la agenda del gobierno nacional. El crecimiento de este sector nos permitirá encarar más construcciones de viviendas en madera, generar energía a través de la biomasa, multiplicar los puestos de trabajo y seguir desarrollando las economías regionales a través del agregado de valor”.

Unusual finding: a pine forest in excellent condition emerges after 6,000 years buried under the ice
In the world there are millions of forests. Some are close to urban centers, others in remote and inaccessible places, but they all fulfill a key role: maintain the balance of the planet. They are literally the lung of the earth. When talking about a new forest, the first thing that comes to mind is usually reforestation, a recent plantation or the recovery of an area razed by fire. But this discovery is on another way. It is not a forest sown recently. It is an old forest, which was there for thousands of years, buried under the ice. And now, with the thaw caused by global warming, he has emerged again.
Burned wood: the Japanese technique that beautifies and protects the material
Elegant, ecological and resistant: the wood treated with the millenary technique called Yakisugi challenges the weather and the passage of time. In the world of design and construction, a Japanese ancestral technique is gaining prominence. This is the Yakisugi (also known as Shou Sugi Ban), a method that consists in burning the surface of the wood to make it more resistant and attractive. Although it may seem contradictory, exposing wood to fire gives natural protection against moisture, insects and deterioration over time.
Know the Guayubira tree: one of the native timber species of the missionary jungle
With information from the Native Missions Species Manual (2024), developed in collaboration between the Faculty of Forest Sciences of the UNAM and the United States Forest Service (USFS) through the Project Update and Edition of the Wood Identification Manual of the Missionary Jungle, we share information from each digital tab that includes dendrological and anatomical characteristics. The manual was elaborated in the Wood, Dendrology and Dendrocronology Anatomy Laboratory (LAMDYD) of the Faculty of Forest Sciences in Eldorado, National University of Misiones.
