Resumen
URCOLA, Marcos. Characterization of family farming based on a rural development programme: the case of the PRODERNEA recipients (1999‐2007). Trab. soc. [online]. 2016, n.27, pp.447-473. ISSN 1514-6871.
In the current debate on family farming, opposing views arise regarding who the involved subjects are, the type of support they should be given and the role that this sector should perform in the regional development. The aim of this paper is to contribute to this debate with the analysis of information collected in the framework of the implementation of a rural development programme. The Rural Development Project for the Northeastern Provinces of Argentina (PRODERNEA in Spanish, 1999-2007) was taken as a reference in order to contribute with empirical elements regarding the characterization and identification of family farming and to generate new questions and hypothesis on the type of political instruments targeted at the sector. The selection of this programme enabled the concrete study of the family producers identified as recipients of its actions, and offered the possibility of reflecting upon their main problems and operational tensions. This paper presents a methodological framework with a qualitative approach and a flexible design based on case studies and the tradition of the Grounded Theory, implementing the analysis and systematization of primary documentary sources and open informal interviews to those in charge of the technical management of the programme and the organizations of producers-beneficiaries.
