SABOURIN, Eric et al. Políticas públicas y ganadería familiar en Uruguay: los desafíos ambientales y de ordenamiento territorial. Pampa [online]. 2015, n.12, pp.241-264. ISSN 2314-0208.

Recent public policies in favor of family farming in Uruguay face a lot of tension with the dominant neoliberal logic of Uruguayan agriculture. This paper analyzes the public policy innovations in the management of natural resources, land use and rural development decentralization. It also examines their effects, especially on the area of family livestock farming. Uruguay is in the process of integrating international standards in environmental policies (conservation of water and soil) and regional sustainable development. But the implementation of new regulatory instruments (territorial, environmental, land use, etc.) has problems as they come in tension or conflict with the interests of the corporate sector or with the identity of family farmer.

Keywords : territorial development policies; Environmental policies; Decentralization; Natural resources management; Family livestock; Native grassland; Uruguay.
