CHRISTOPHE, Albaladejo  and  ROBERTO, Cittadini. El productor silencioso: destino del gran actor de la modernización de los años 1960-70 en la actual copresencia de agriculturas de la región pampeana argentina. Pampa [online]. 2017, n.16, pp.147-172. ISSN 2314-0208.

In the Argentine Pampas region, despite the statements of many actors and statements in the literature, we estimate that the agricultural model of agribusiness represented by the "new soy farmers" cannot be considered as a deepening of the previous model of modernization, of 1960-70, but it should be treated as a new process breaking with such modernization. What then is the fate of the actors who were the basis of previous modernization model and in particular the conventional modern producer? It emerged parallel to agribusiness, and since 2000, a new social subject in rural Argentina: the family farmer. But none of the two social actors - family farmers and agribusiness manager - represent the essence of the « modern producer » who was at the center of the "classic" modernization of 1960-70. In this paper, we demonstrate how heuristic is to place the focus of attention on the fate of the social base of the previous modernization, and the hidden importance of his current role in the territories and the agriculture, despite the sudden disappearance of the speeches of agricultural sector and of social representations and public policies

Keywords : Agricultural producer; Pampas region; Rural areas; Family farming; Agricultural modernization.
