¿Alternativa (s) al agronegocio? Una lecturaacerca de los vínculos entre producción familiar y agroecología en Argentina

Zusammenfassung

In this paper we are interested in questioning how some elements associated with alternative production, essentially agroecological, affect the social characterisation of the subject of family production in the context of agribusiness. Thus, certain attributes of the subject of family production are -or continue to be -under discussion. In these notes, we are interested in showing how some aspects of alternative production, fundamentally agroecological, can have an impact on this characterisation, making its diversity of origin even more complex. The perspective of analysis is qualitative: we worked with a purposive sample of press articles on alternative production experiences that have been selected on the basis of the central concepts of the proposed discussion. A process of coding and analysis was also carried out based on what was collected from the sample. The final reflections emphasise how necessary it is to consider the question of the alternative as a trait that, at present, reflects a possible profile of family producers. It is therefore relevant to approach family production from the perspective of these subjects and their life trajectories.
