Policy to Reduce Food Waste and Promote Sustainable Food Practices

Policy to Reduce Food Waste and Promote Sustainable Food Practices

At Estancia Los Potreros, we recognize the importance of responsible food management in protecting the environment, supporting local communities, and enhancing the guest experience. We are committed to reducing food waste and promoting sustainable food practices throughout our operations.

We aim to minimise food waste by planning carefully, managing inventory efficiently, and preparing meals in a way that reduces unnecessary surplus while maintaining the high quality and generosity of our hospitality. Leftovers are managed responsibly wherever possible, and organic waste is separated and composted when appropriate to reduce landfill impact.

We prioritise the use of fresh, seasonal, and locally sourced ingredients whenever possible, supporting nearby farmers, producers, and suppliers in Córdoba and surrounding areas. This helps reduce transportation-related environmental impacts while strengthening the local economy and preserving regional food traditions.

We also value sustainable farming and ethical sourcing practices, choosing suppliers who share our commitment to responsible land use, animal welfare, and environmental stewardship.

Guests are encouraged to appreciate local cuisine and seasonal produce as part of the authentic estancia experience, helping to foster awareness of sustainable food choices and responsible consumption.

Through thoughtful planning, responsible sourcing, and continuous improvement, Estancia Los Potreros remains committed to reducing food waste and promoting a more sustainable and respectful approach to food.

Estancia Los Potreros Equine Welfare Policy

Estancia Los Potreros Equine Welfare Policy

At Los Potreros, we believe horses thrive when allowed to live naturally in open, social environments. This policy outlines our approach to low-intervention, high-welfare horse care, where horses live in expansive fields with minimal interference, while still receiving essential care to ensure their health and wellbeing. Our methods reflect the values of low-impact land use, respect for natural herd dynamics, and responsible stewardship of both animals and the environment.

Our Sustainable Kitchen

Our Sustainable Kitchen

Every chef across the world, pays close attention to what goes into their food but here at Los Potreros we are also concerned about what our food is doing to the environment. Our chefs have always had a “no waste mentality” and now more than every they are minimizing what they throw out and developing a menu to ensure they can continue to cut down what little waste we still have, throughout the last few months we have begun to test out new ideas with great success.
