FERNANDEZ, Lisandro. Public policies to family farm in Argentina during the period 1990‐2015: New and  known items on the agenda for discussion. Trab. soc. [online]. 2018, n.30, pp.219-241. ISSN 1514-6871.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the main features of Public Policies for family farm on two different historical-political contexts of Argentina. Centrally, research covers the period of 1990-2015. For the accomplishment of this study we rely on documentary sources, qualified informants and a bibliographical analysis. The research distinguishes two phases. The first -during the 90s- is characterized by deregulation of agricultural state institutions, in which a set of programs designed to offset the increase in rural poverty were implemented. In a second phase, which began with the devaluation of 2002, and particularly after the 2008 agrarian conflict, Public Policies enabled greater degree of institutional integration and visibility of family farm, together with changes in the objectives and instruments of programs destined to it. The analysis of the overall process allows observing changes and continuity of public policy for the sector.

Keywords : Agricultural policies; Rural development programs; Family farm.
