| Sumario: | This study analyzes the changes that have occurred in the Cuenca del Salado in the last twenty years in a context of transformations for the Pampean agricultural sector. The work was based on secondary sources of information and interviews with key informants, taking the Partido de Las Flores as a case study. The results show differences in the productive dynamics of the area under study, with respect to other subregions of the humid pampa. From the analysis of the information, it appears that the number of productive units is maintained in the period analyzed, even with an increase in the smallest ones, posing a divergent process to the rest of the Pampean Region. The causes of these differences are associated with bovine farming as the predominant productive activity, the technological model that supports it and the impossibility of developing concentrated capital. The characteristics of this subregion have, at least partially, slowed down the capital intensive technological model and the development of economies of scale, so that family production systems continue to operate based on cattle farming and family work. |
