Argentina: Back to the countryside | DW English

If present trends continue, around 70 percent of the world population will live in cities by 2050, even though life in them can be hard and expensive. Rural areas meanwhile are emptying out. In Argentina, a new movement is now trying to bring the city to villages.

this mentality can help homelessness and unemployment, and mental health issues. The countryside and a promise of a peaceful life if managed correctly could do wonders not only in Argentina, but everywhere. The woman in charge of RESPONDE is truly wonderful woman, truly thinking about the well-being of the older generation in the villages, and her compatriots living rough in the city. Hope this program continues with the utmost success - from Canada.

Argentina is the country for all ages.

Life in little and mid size cities, especially in the Pampas, is a high quality one. And there is a lot to develop.

[noviceprepper]

how great that hardworking city people have an option to return to hardworking country/village life

[kallolroy]

I wanna join with them. I love Argentine and Spanish culture.

I think i would move to argentina from canada. Canada has become a s#!thole b/c of treuduea. Hopefully Argentina's new presdient will turn things around for them. I just need to convince my Colombian wife to move back to south america. She's not convinced canada is as bad as it is yet

Great to see actual video of this part of Argentina.. Could almost pass in looks for the southeastern united states.. Looks like a similar climate

1:13 "More than half" is a bit of an understatement. 93% of Argentinians live in cities.

If that program was available to extranjeros we would be interested in moving to Argentina. We are retired from the US.

Those people who have left the village one day they need those lands when others have taken away from their hands and it will be too late for them.

But can you solve this in less than ten minutes
A miller ground out 336 pound of wheat into flour .
Enough to fill 128 bags ; some were 2 (Ib) and others were 7 (Ib) bags of Flour.
How many 2 (Ib) bags and 7 (Ib) bags of Flour were filled ?
If a 2 (Ib) bag is sold for £2 each and a 7 (Ib) is £6 each; how much were all 128 bags sold for ?
If only 25% of the total selling price of the Flour was profit ( after expenses ), how much profit did the Miller have for the 336 (Ib) of Flour sold that day ?

Hopefully, here in the countryside there are many guns compare to big cities.

I was surprised that 90% of Argentineans live in cities now...Originally I expected 80%
