Resumen
Descripción
El presente artículo pretende aportar algunos conocimientos teóricos y empíricos sobre las profundas transformaciones del sector rural pampeano argentino, donde los cambios tecnológicos han impactado significativamente en la vida cotidiana y productiva como nunca antes en la historia. En particular, se intenta identificar en qué medida la incorporación de nuevas tecnologías y lógicas productivas modificó el tradicional modelo socio-productivo de tipo familiar que primaba entre los pequeños y medianos productores agropecuarios de una localidad del sur de la provincia de Santa Fe (Bigand), donde desde hace varias décadas viene imponiéndose un proceso sostenido de “agriculturización”, tecnificación y especialización de su producción primaria agropecuaria en función del monocultivo de soja. Este trabajo argumenta su diseño metodológico en un estudio de casos e intenta transmitir al lector la complejidad y diversidad de estrategias socio-productivas de los casos de explotaciones agropecuarias seleccionadas en su contexto. Las estrategias de los productores agropecuarios, que derivan de la combinación compleja de factores económicos y sociales en cada caso, nos permitieron observar el grado de articulación entre emprendimiento productivo y proyecto familiar, y la incidencia del “factor tecnológico” y del contexto socio-productivo de esta localidad del sur santafesino en cada uno de los mismos
The purpose of this article is to provide some theoretical and empirical knowledge regarding the profound transformations undergone by the rural sector in the Argentinean Pampa, where technological changes have had a significant impact both on productive and everyday life never seen before in the history of this area. We will try, in particular, to identify to what extent the addition of new technologies and productive motivations have changed the traditional family socio-productive pattern that took precedence among small and medium farming producers in a particular town of Southern Santa Fe (Bigand), which for the last decades has experienced an increasing and sustained process of “agriculturization”, technological advancement and specialization of the primary farming activity in relation to the monoculture of soya. This article’s design is based on a case study and aims to convey to the reader the complexity and diversity of socio-productive strategies of these farming exploitation cases that we have chosen, as related to their contexts. The strategies implemented by farming producers, which stem from the complex combination of social and economic factors, will allow us to observe the articulation between the productive initiative and family project, as well as the incidence of the “technological factor” and socio-productive context of this town of Southern Santa Fe in each of the cases
