Agroecology as an emergent model in agrarian production: heterogeneities, conflicts and socio-productive changes in the Province of Córdoba (Argentina)

Abstract

This paper aims to (a) identify, describe and analyse the socio-productive diversity observed in an alternative agrarian model; and to (b) identify and discuss its most important features, focusing on an agroecological type of production, in the Province of Córdoba (Argentina). The results help to describe the main characteristics of farmers linked to agroecology from which the main productive types can be classified. The four primary analytical axes are: socio-productive heterogeneity, agroecological transitions, socio-productive innovation, and technological hybridisation.
