De la emergencia a la “primavera” Caimmi, Nuria Fernández, Lisandro agroecología instrumentos de política agricultura familiar Argentina agroecology policy instruments family farming Argentina In recent years, agroecology has become consolidated in Argentina as a socially problematized issue, gaining increasing presence in the public agenda and within state institutions, until a slowdown and institutional adjustment at the end of 2023. This article reconstructs and analyzes the trajectory of agroecological public policies between 1990 and 2023 through a qualitative and exploratory approach based on the documentary analysis of 27 national and provincial initiatives. The study identified the policy instruments and target populations, revealing a predominance of technical assistance and training, consistent with a production-centered perspective, alongside various forms of engagement with social organizations. As a result, the period 2019–2023 is referred to here as the “agroecological spring”, an unfinished phase of institutional expansion that enabled new forms of state inclusion and, in some cases, transcended the traditional tension between institutionalization and autonomy, reflecting a spectrum of inter-institutional linkages. Overall, the study provides an overview of the agroecological institutional framework in Argentina and constitutes a starting point for deepening debates on the future of public policies in this field. En los últimos años, la agroecología se consolidó en Argentina como una cuestión socialmente problematizada, con creciente presencia en la agenda e institucionalidad estatal, hasta un proceso de ralentización y ajuste desde fines de 2023. Este artículo reconstruye y analiza la trayectoria de las políticas públicas agroecológicas entre 1990 y 2023 a partir de un enfoque cualitativo y exploratorio basado en el análisis documental de 27 iniciativas nacionales y provinciales. Se identificaron los instrumentos de intervención y la población destinataria, y se encontró un predominio de la asistencia técnica y la capacitación, en consonancia con una visión centrada en lo productivo, junto con distintas formas de vinculación con organizaciones sociales. Como resultado, se denomina aquí “primavera agroecológica” (2019-2023) a una fase de expansión institucional inconclusa, que habilitó nuevas formas de inclusión estatal y, en algunos casos, trascendió la clásica disputa entre autonomía y cooptación, al expresar un amplio espectro de vínculos interinstitucionales. En conjunto, el trabajo ofrece un panorama de la institucionalidad agroecológica en Argentina y constituye un punto de partida para profundizar los debates sobre el futuro de las políticas públicas en este campo.
