| Sumario: | The paper deals with the cause of the ongoing reassignment between different activities whose epicenter is the use of land. Initially it reviews –based on the available statistical information– changes in the allocation of land between agriculture and livestock and within agriculture itself. Among the causal factors of such territorial dynamics are analyzed: the several rate of profitability –associated with the price/cost system and the various interventions implemented in the last decades– of these activities; the technological changes that affected both the relative returns and the possibility of widening the territorial border itself; and the modifications related with the global change climate. The paper concludes that in addition to an expansion in the total area used, a displacement of livestock by agriculture is verified and within this a greater pre-eminence of annual crops closely related to the dynamics of international markets. |
