Frontera agropecuaria y territorio en el noreste de Argentina: su avance y ordenamiento en la provincia de Formosa

Abstract

This article approaches the relation between the advance of the agricultural frontier and the pressure on the territory with agricultural potential in the province of Formosa (northeastern Argentina) and the struggle for territory carried out by indigenous people. We first describe the characteristics of the agro in Formosa, with special emphasis on the eastern portion of the province. Then, we analyze the Program of Territorial Planning of the Rural Environments of the province of Formosa in its fundamental concepts. Finally, we turn to the terms of the inclusion of indigenous people in this program and the implications of its application in relation to their territories.
