Since the last decades of the twentieth century, Argentine rural areas are the scene of deep socio-productive transformations linked to the expansion of intensive economic activities in the use of capital. Among them, we can mention agriculture for export, viticulture, and mining. In both cases, the Argentine Northwest (NOA) and the Pampean Region, these productive activities, as well as land grabbing processes and the privatization and concentration of land, are particularly visible. The aim of the paper is to analyze the territorial transformations of the Argentinian´s rural areas, comparing the processes in the NOA and in the Pampean Region between the last decade of the 20^th century and the first of the 21st century. The study involves ten provinces, which comprise 35% of the land area, have 170,000 farms, and include 60% of the rural population
