Abstract

PALMISANO, Tomás. Among wells and irrigation ditches: Transformations in the uses of water and soil in the Famatina Valley (Argentina). Mundo agrar. [online]. 2016, vol.17, n.36, pp.00-00. ISSN 1515-5994.

The instauration of the neoliberal paradigm in the argentine country from the 1970 decade deeply affected the agroindustrial productions. In this context, we will reconstruct the changes in the agrarian structure in the Famatina Valley, in La Rioja province (Argentina), emphasizing the appearance of new actors that can concentrate land and water with the benefits of some public policy. On the other hand, we will point out the small and medium productions underlining how they manage their water resources. The methodological strategy of this paper combines the analysis of statistical sources as well as interviews

Keywords : Agribusiness; Tax deferral; Water management; Extractive use of water; Valle de Famatina.
