Los organismos participativos para políticas públicas de la agricultura familiar, campesina e indígena

Abstract

Family farming in Argentina has gone through a long process of institutionalization and constitution as a political actor. On August 15, 2014, through Resolution 571/2014 of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, the Council for Family, Peasant and Indigenous Farming was created. The recitals of said resolution mention the need to have a space within the ministry “of institutional articulation that groups together the management units and the Peasant, Indigenous and Family Farming Organizations of national scope”. Through a structured interview with the representatives of the family farming organizations, it will be sought to describe and understand what the perception that these people who make up the Council have about it as a participatory tool for making public policy decisions. Based on the answers provided, a contrast will be made between them, the different degrees of participation and the objectives that the normative that creates the Council and Law 27.118 on family, peasant and indigenous farming establish for it.
