The agribusiness model involved the expansion of crops and the application of a technological package that has generated the use of millions of liters of agrochemicals, which exposes rural populations to simultaneous or sequenced exposure to products, which seriously affect health and the environment. These externalities are reflected in the bodyterritory of women who inhabit and/or transit rural spaces, and suffer from daily land dispossession, labor exploitation and deterioration of their health as a result of the drift of agrochemicals. In this paper I intend to make visible the struggle of women, teachers, who gave birth to the Federal Network of Teachers for Life in San Andrés de Giles (Buenos Aires province) in 2017; an environmental group that denounces these problems, promotes actions to protect the environment and the rights of students and rural families. The methodology includes the analysis of journalistic sources, fieldwork and the development of semi-structured interviews in the territory of San Andrés de Giles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Pork production is positioned as an alternative for livestock farming that generates economic value adds, employment opportunities and social ties in communities of the hinterland regions. However, that activity must face a future scenario of great challenges driven by the macroeconomic and sectoral policies implemented in Argentina, since the end of 2015. The effects of those policies on the national evolution of pork productive and commercial variables are assessed, in this paper, by calculation of the economic output of primary feed production in La Pampa province. This involved the performing of a descriptive and regional investigation, which was instead worked out by modeling of typical production systems, calculation of economic results and comparison of costs and average incomes. In spite of the continuous increase in pork consumption, its upward trend in national production was slowed down. The growing gap between these two variables was covered up by imports, which increased sharply in relative terms. The profit margins for pork producers in La Pampa province were reduced, due to increments in costs that resulted proportionally greater than the observed for their income. This reveals a scenario where the economic result depends on the efficiency of production management, adoption of technologies, advances in associativity as an alternative to scale progress, improvements in the purchasing of supplies and access to new commercial channels.

During the neoliberal period, the State reconfigured its way of acting in diverse spaces of the society. In that context, the enactment of the Decreto de Desregulación Económica 2284 de 1991 had a deep impact in the Argentinian rural sector. Because of that, we analyze the problematization process of the issue by different agents; the position took by the State materialized in the text of the Decree; and some reactions that it aroused, based in the classic contributions of Oszlak and O'Donnell. In this manner, we deepen our understanding of the strategies and forms of communication that are articulated in the process of adopting a public policy. In methodological terms, we reviewed the content of some discourses published in specialized newspapers between 1990 and 1991 and we apply discourse analysis techniques on the original Decree and two company's advertising. This paper concludes that even when a favorable position about agrarian deregulation had consensus between hegemonic agents, the intensity of the public policy transcended its expectations, empowering profound economic, social and political transformations.

In order to support and facilitate the monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of the integrated food and energy production in Cuba, BiomaSoft was designed, a computer system for the M&E of integrated food and energy production in Cuban municipalities. The objective of this paper is to provide a description of the main aspects in the implementation and development of such system, for which its use cases are textually described and the specific design class diagrams for each one are provided. As a whole, the detailed aspects show the way in which the different actors should interact with the BiomaSoft system, tailor-designed for the support of M&E. Likewise, all the compiled information allowed to design and construct a robust database, capable of supporting the large quantity of information the system should manipulate; and also to reach a deep understanding of the functioning and capacities of the system, for their later display. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this paper is to facilitate the understanding about the relevance of the actors' perceptions for social change and sustainability of the transformations that are executed in the municipal agricultural sector, in the face of the complexity of current scenarios. The analysis and reflection are derived from the experience obtained during more than 15 years of field work, with tools that promote participation and interdisciplinarity in the analyses, by the research line of Agricultural and Sustainable Local Development of the Pastures and Forages Research Station Indio Hatuey, in agroproductive entities, municipalities and localities, with the contribution of their key actors. For the study the information regarding the officials, workers and decision makers' perceptions were considered; statistical documents associated to the agricultural productions of the territories were also analyzed. As a result it was observed that the established institutionality should be reformed, because it slows down the concretion of the transformation projects and actions. From this, it can be concluded that the knowledge and understanding about the analyzed actors' perceptions at municipal-local level remarkably limit that the projection and implementation of the changes are favorably visualized.

The aim of this paper is to assess economic and biologic feasibility of different feed categories in swine prefattening and fattening. Equally important is to quantify the contribution of nutrients, digestible energy, and raw proteins based on conventional raw materials (corn and soybean), as well as non-conventional ones (parted rice, fat and sun flower meal). A composition analysis was made, and rations for pigs were simulated in the above-mentioned stages. According to the standard supplies, the protein levels found in the single-type feed were either excessive or deficient at times, in relation to the animal requirements. The costs of production were subsequently increased, and nutritional unbalances were observed, making feed rations costlier than the feeds made for the stages under the study, using non-conventional raw materials.

From an understanding of the struggles of popular movements for the defence of the territory, is an analysis of the Colombian Agrarian question. Presenting in a critical way the development model dependent capitalism restored by the ruling classes, which determines the territorial arranging of a hegemonic way and the territorial disputes gestated in the struggles of the popular movements, that in its historical experience are constituted in subjects of power, shown in its organizational capacity and in the practice of the warrants in the territories. The paper discusses about the category of popular classes, the links between the different movements, peasants, indigenous and black communities in the agrarian scene and the ways in which today the territorial dispute is addressed from the movements, They question and are related with other forms of expression of the popular classes at the current juncture of the war and the peace process, like left political parties and the insurgency.

Due to the deepening capitalist nature of agricultural production in the pampas region, family farms have had to deal with bigger demands in order to continue working as commodity producers. Even though stressful tendencies have prevailed, the process has not led to the disappearance of this type of production units. This brings up the question about how they have managed to deal with increasingly hostile contexts. In order to answer that question, and trying to find out the clues to their persistence, in this paper we analyze the economic and productive strategies carried out by a group of eleven farmer families of Puan and Adolfo Alsina districts (located in SouthWest Buenos Aires), between the late 1980s and today. Using a qualitative and exploratory approach, we study their economic and productive options taking into account both structural factors - such as labour force organization and land and capital integration- and subjective and cultural aspects.

We present here a real options approach as a tool for strategic decision-making in the forestry sector. We consider, in particular, an exotic option known as a knock-in barrier option. We use this approach to determine the optimal timing of harvests. The optimal time is determined by comparing at each period, the cash flow corresponding to each node (FFij(t)) in a binomial lattice with the expected value in the next year ( Xt+1xe -rΔt ). The traditional NPV indicates, in an hypothetical context analyzed in the paper, that the largest present value is obtained at the tenth year of standing. The real options approach championed here, instead, indicates that the highest value is at the eighteenth year of standing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The recent evolution of the foods prices has been evaluated in several studies considering: the commercial margins analysis and the prices temporal evolution although more of them have been developed using the consumer optics. In this paper, the temporal evolution of the foods prices in Spain has been analysed in the period 2000-2009 considering the farmer optics. Concretely, information in relation with the prices received by the farmers, the prices paid by them and the consumer price index (CPI) has been used. Then, using a time series analysis, the long run relationships between series have been analysed. The results show a long run balance between the prices received and paid by the farmer and between the CPI and the received prices. The main conclusions show that, in spite of the existing imbalances in the short term, in the long term the received and paid prices tend to a balance situation. An important element in the evolution of the CPI is the prices received by the products in the primary sector. Nevertheless, the inputs price fixation in the primary sector in the long term does not show a significant relationship with the CPI. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article focuses on the social and environmental conditions surrounding the United Fruit Company's business planning and economic power in palm oil production in Costa Rica during the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The agricultural company's technological and scientific resources are detailed, in addition to its relationship with peasant farmers and other members of the production chain. The author uses sources including laboratory reports, mail and scientific papers to demonstrate the politics behind the business strategy employed by the company.
