MOYANO, Daniel. AN AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY. THE FIRST PROJECTS OF HIGHER AGRONOMIC EDUCATION IN THE NORTH OF ARGENTINA (TUCUMÁN, 1914 - CA.1930). Rev. hist. am. argent. [online]. 2019, vol.54, n.2, pp.123-155. ISSN 2314-1549.

We will focus on the first higher education projects in agronomy carried out by the University of Tucumán (during its provincial and later national stage), with the purpose of making visible the performance of educational institutions in the northern region of the country as trainers of human resources in agricultural matters. We will analyze the initial proposals at the university level, the main guidelines of the projects and the obstacles that prevented the consolidation of careers. At the same time, we will examine the reorientation of this house of high studies towards the formation of agronomists of secondary level, basal element that allowed it, in later years, to concretize the original projects of superior agricultural instruction of regional character. The choice of our object of study allows us to approach a topic virtually neglected and, together with the appropriation of unexplored documentation, to relativize generalizing narratives on the subject.
