| Sumario: | This paper presents a research on traditional ongoing agricultural practices in the northern sector of Quebrada de Humahuaca, including the upper basin of the Rio Grande, starting from the present town of Tres Cruces to Hipólito Yrigoyen, including the Condor and Chaupi Rodeo Gorges which go into the main rift valley. This research characterizes the traditional technology and the related local knowledge and the possible correlations between present and past agricultural practices. The results obtained from fieldwork, remote sensing analysis and bibliographical research provide information on the topic in an area that presents characteristics of arid and semi-arid environments. The evidence of small family scale agriculture has been detected which allows the sustainable development of the domestic group and the environment. |
