M C Dominic, Editor in Chief, Krishi Jagran, introduced Mr. Beheran, who is himself a son of a farmer, saying, “He has lived with farmers and has worked with the farming organization. Later, he joined the government sector, where also he took care of agriculture. This is truly inspirational," he said.
Mariano Beheran, Agriculture Attaché, Embassy of Argentina while addressing the KJ Chaupal said, “I came here to India with my wife and
decided to come here and explore the agriculture field. I went to Chennai to the Swaminathan Institute, where I saw women working in the agricultural fields, which is a rare sight in Argentina, where most farmers are men. I want to raise awareness about women in agriculture," he said while appreciating the Indian agricultural industry.
The Agriculture Attaché also addressed the global concern of climate change, highlighting its recurring presence on the agenda of the G20

and Argentina while shedding light on key areas that require attention and cooperation.
Lastly, he said that there are a lot of things that need to be done in both countries - and for that, we need to collaborate more as India has the capability and ability to do so.
