Posiciones e interacciones en el campo de las agriculturas: Agronegocio y agricultura familiar en la provincia de Buenos Aires alternativas
Desde la década de 2010 se observa un creciente interés de agricultores de diferente escala en la adopción de agriculturas alternativas. En paralelo, también se registran intentos por parte de actores del agronegocio de insertarse/apropiarse de la agroecología o la agricultura orgánica. En ese contexto, el objetivo del artículo es analizar y comprender los procesos de adopción de los diversos paradigmas de agricultura alternativa teniendo en cuen…
Dependent Articulation in the Global Pesticide Complex: Argentina's Agrochemical Industry After the Generics Market Revolution
Since the late 1990s, the pesticide industry has undergone a ‘generics revolution’ as the centre of production, and trade has shifted to the global South. China and India have become major producers, capturing Latin American markets from Northern multinationals. As a major pesticide user and a key node in global supply chains, Argentina offers an exemplary case to understand these dynamics. The country's long‐established pesticide sector has unde…
Dinámica multicausal de la escasez hídrica. El caso de Nonogasta, La Rioja, Argentina
In January 2023 the main source of irrigation water for Nonogasta farmers reached historic lows in its flow. To analyse and understand the problem, we applied a heterodox methodological combination of techniques from agrarian social studies and hydrological and hydrogeological studies that included instances of review of the results with farmers in order to delineate a dialogue of knowledge around the multi-causality of water scarcity. Our result…
Cooperaciones agroecológicas: Vínculos interpersonales, instituciones, redes y asociaciones en el campo bonaerense
El campo de la agroecología está en expansión desde hace varias décadas. Desde la teoría y la práctica se ha forjado un consenso sobre la necesidad de cooperación entre los sujetos que la llevan adelante. En este artículo nos preguntamos cómo, para qué y en torno a qué nudos problemáticos se asocian y cooperan las familias productoras agroecológicas, y cómo esta colaboración cambia a lo largo del tiempo. A partir de un planteo metodológico cualit…
Conjunctural crises and restructuring of south–south production networks: The example of the Chinese pesticide industry
This paper discusses the evolution of the Global Pesticide Complex during the last 30 years. We read the development of economic entities as a profoundly uneven spatiotemporal process patterned by intersecting challenges and contradictions which define conjunctural crises. Focusing on “south-south” supply chains, we demonstrate how Chinese producers have profoundly transformed the Global Pesticide Complex, influenced significantly by state interv…
Territorialized climate change adaptation analysis: Lessons from the Central Valleys of Chile
Between Regulation and Practice: Situated Pesticide Governance in Argentina
Alternativas y resistencias a los modelos hegemónicos capitalistas en los mundos rurales
Existe un extendido consenso político y académico contemporáneo acerca de la crisis multidimensional en la que se encuentra el modo de producción capitalista y la desigual distribución de sus consecuencias entre diversas geografías, clases, y grupos sociales. El creciente consumo productivo y especulativo de la naturaleza ha reforzado el rol histórico de América Latina como despensa y cantera de la economía-mundo. Con mayor o menor intensidad, la…
La construcción de alternativas a las formas hegemónicas de producción agraria
El presente artículo tiene dos objetivos interrelacionados: 1) Analizar las motivaciones que los sujetos exponen al explicar la construcción y sostenimiento de alternativas agroalimentarias; 2) Identificar las tensiones, conflictos y violencias del agronegocio frente a las que los sujetos construyen estos enfoques alternativos. Para ello se recurre a una estrategia metodológica de análisis de contenido cualitativo que se combina con información s…
Rural Mobilisation and Agrarian Political Economy in Argentina, 2001-2020
In this article, we reconstruct the mobilisations of rural actors both from 'below' and from 'above' and their connections to Argentina's agrarian political economy between 2001 and 2020. We divide the analysis into three periods and review key protest events and the actions of movements and organisations, paying special attention to two dimensions. First, we consider how rural movements and organisations engaged with institutional politics and t…
Three food production logics: Are there alternatives to agribusiness
Departing from the global development of ‘agribusiness’, three distinct logics of production can be identified in the agricultural sector and in food production in particular: 1) peasant, 2) agribusiness, and 3) farmer or Chacarera (in Argentina). This last logic of production, in our hypothesis, maintains some interesting characteristics that have not yet completely disappeared but are at risk of disappearing in the medium term. This typology as…
Capital concentration in and through class differentiation: A case study from Pampean agribusiness
The National Agricultural Census (NAC) held in Argentina in 2018 shows that the concentration and centralization of agrarian capital in this country's heartland of grain and oilseed production is an ongoing process. An extensive academic literature has attributed this trend to the dynamics of capitalist development in agriculture in general and to Argentina's political economy in particular. Tying into these discussions and based on a case study,…
Narratives and practices of pesticide removal in the Andean valleys of Chile and Argentina
Socio-territorial Disputes and Violence on Fracking Land in Vaca Muerta, Argentina
With the discovery of unconventional hydrocarbon deposits and the consequent expansion of the commodity frontiers in the past decade, a series of territorial disputes over the geological formation called Vaca Muerta has arisen in the province of Neuquén, Argentina, between oil companies, Mapuche indigenous communities, pastoralists, and the state. A general panorama of territorial conflict, state and parastate violence, tension, and negotiation a…
Conflicto Agrario Y Extractivismo en La Argentina Reciente (2015-2019)
En el presente trabajo analizamos las características que asumió la expansión del modelo extractivo – y la conflictividad concomitante – entre 2015 y 2019, años que coinciden con el gobierno de Mauricio Macri, de tendencia conservadora neoliberal. Para cumplir con dicho objetivo combinamos el análisis de fuentes estadísticas secundarias y legislación nacional y provincial con un relevamiento de conflictos y resistencias a partir de fuentes secund…
Conflictos socioambientales y territoriales en espacios rurales de la comuna de Putaendo (Chile)
Este artículo explora los conflictos que surgen en torno a la expansión de actividades primario exportadoras. A partir de un estudio de caso en la comuna de Putaendo (Región de Valparaíso, Chile) que combina técnicas cuantitativas y cualitativas, se analiza la dimensión territorial y la socioambiental de las disputas. Tras el análisis se concluye que el avance de la frontera extractiva activa diversas resistencias que, a pesar de su especificidad…
From Food Production to Commodity Production in Argentina's Agricultural Sector
An analysis of the semiotic and productive transformation of food crops under Argentina's agribusiness model through a study of the diffusion of the term "commodity" in the discourse produced/reproduced by the rural sections of the hegemonic media, combined with statistical data that allow a dialogue between discourse and measurable quantities, concludes that defining the Argentine countryside as a place for commodity production is linked with in…
