Abstract

GORENSTEIN, Silvia; NAPAL, Martí  and  BARBERO, Andrea. Rural development challenges in Argentina: a reading from a Humid Pampa territory. Econ. soc. territ [online]. 2009, vol.9, n.29, pp.119-143. ISSN 2448-6183.

In this paper we offer a critical reflection of the ideas that shape public actions to support small and medium rural farming producers, as well as the development and sustainability of their populations. We start from recognising the structural limits of these territories and discuss the current policies; in particular we address the proposal of new guidelines based on the Desarrollo Territorial Rural (Rural Territorial Development). We propose an analytical reading to set a series of challenges for the possibilities and policies towards rural development in the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Keywords : rural development; Buenos Aires rural farming territory; rural farming policies; family agriculture; small livestock and farming producer.
