FEITO, María Carolina. Visibility and recovery of peri-urban family farming: Public policy interventions in La Matanza. Mundo agrar. [online]. 2017, vol.18, n.38, pp.00-00. ISSN 1515-5994.

The present paper analyzes social interventions adressed to family farmers living in the buffer periurban zone of La Matanza party -Greater Buenos Aires-, focusing on coordination at levels among different institutions that implement public policies oriented to promote and support such agricultural productions. Qualitative methodology was used for ethnographic field work and secondary information survey. Author/s aim/s to demonstrate that the articulations and agreements between institutions and actors are still incipient and do not realize about their real potentialities. The author/s describe/s interfaces between different actors: producers, extension agents and implementers, as well as interventions to incorporate appropriate technologies. The conclusions presented above show that this kind of interventions are being carried out on an conflict scenario and dispute over the implementation of development policies and programs
