CAMINOS, Alejandro Martín  and  BOCCO, Romina María. (De/Re) Territorializations in the Paravachasca Valley (Córdoba, Argentina) and its relationship with the processes of food sovereignty. Trab. soc. [online]. 2023, vol.24, n.41, pp.51-72.  Epub July 01, 2023. ISSN 1514-6871.

This article analyzes the multiple territorial disputes that have been taking place in the Paravachasca Valley in the province of Córdoba (Argentina). We describe how the extractivist agricultural and real estate models converge in space, affecting the ways of appropriation, significance and experience of the territory. From there, we carry out an analysis of the production and transformation processes of the rural habitat, reflecting on theoretical and interpretative issues that revolve around these problems. Subsequently, we examine the renewed designs that are organized and deployed in defense of the material and symbolic conditions to guarantee the reproduction of life in the territory. We particularly refer to initiatives linked to food, which propose other logics of production, distribution and consumption anchored explicitly or implicitly in the notion of food sovereignty. For this, we will draw a brief cartography on living experiences that are woven in the territory, that aim for a higher level of food autonomy. Finally, we analyze how these other ontologies under construction create and recreate new territorialities, giving another meaning to food and the territory itself.

Keywords : Agricultural and real estate extractivism; territorialization; multiple territorialities; food sovereignty.
