GRAS, Carla  and  ZORZOLI, Facundo. Land-Grabbing cycles and processes of agrarian differentiation in North-western Argentina. Trab. soc. [online]. 2019, n.33, pp.121-130. ISSN 1514-6871.

The complexity of the processes associated with the expansion of agribusiness requires spatial and temporary detailed situated analysis. In this paper, we address changes in land tenure and their impacts in terms of agrarian differentiation in the northwest of Argentina. Drawing upon debates on global land grabbing, we explore three dynamics that shape them: land valorisation,

environmental degradation and generation of agricultural business models. We intégrate the role of technology and environmental effects in the analysis of land grabbing. The research is based on qualitative and quantitative methods (ethnographic work, interviews, field-scanning, and analysis of official statistical data).

Keywords : Land-Grabbing; Agribusiness; agricultural business models; Northwest of Argentina.
