Resumen
Existe consenso sobre la necesidad de potenciar la agricultura familiar en pos de garantizar la soberanía alimentaria global; pero uno de los mayores desafíos para lograr este objetivo es el hecho de que la mayor parte de los alimentos es comercializada a través de mercados que manejan pautas poco compatibles con esta forma de producir. Tal vez las claves para solucionar este problema se encuentren en identificar los logros y caminos llevados adelante por los mismos productores que han desarrollado estrategias alternativas de mercadeo y, a partir de allí, buscar la forma de potenciarlos desde las políticas públicas. Muchos agricultores familiares han logrado ser viables en sus emprendimientos, construyendo nuevos mercados sobre la base de sistemas de comercialización asentados en circuitos cortos, que no solo aumentan su rentabilidad por la reducción de intermediarios, sino que a su vez disminuyen el precio de los alimentos y ofrecen productos de mayor calidad al consumidor final como consecuencia de su estrategia de agregado de valor. El presente trabajo se desarrollará en esa línea, presentando tres casos de agricultura familiar ubicados en el área de riego de la provincia de Santiago del Estero. Las explotaciones presentadas tienen una lógica productiva, económica y social similar, caracterizada por una fuerte coproducción hombre-naturaleza, la vinculación entre los recursos de la propia explotación, el agregado de valor, la generación de novedades tecnológicas y la artesanalidad, entre otros, en el marco de un fuerte proceso de intensificación de la mano de obra familiar.
There is widespread consensus on the need to strengthen family farming in order to guarantee the global food sovereignty. One of the biggest challenges in achieving this goal is that most part of the food is traded through markets handling patterns that are hardly compatible with family farming. Perhaps the key to solving this problem lies in identifying the achievements and paths followed by the same producers that have developed alternative marketing strategies. Many family farmers have developed viable entrepreneurships, building innovative markets for their products based on short circuit commercialization systems that not only increase profitability due to a cut of intermediaries, but also lower the food prices and provides the final consumer with better quality products as a consequence of the added value strategy followed by the producers. In that context, this study exposes three cases of family farms located in the irrigation area of Río Dulce, Province of Santiago del Estero (Argentina). The cases present a similar productive, economic and social logic, characterized by a strong co-production between man and nature, provided by a combination of endogenous resources, value added, generation of technological novelties and craftsmanship, among others, within a strong process of family labor intensification.
