The agro-cultural inheritance as a symptom of stagnation in small producers

Abstract

The following scientific writing arose as a result of previous research for the completion of the final thesis of Degree in Geography, it deals with the generational drag of agro-cultural characteristics (type and form of production, tools and production management), and how determines the hypothetical position of disadvantage / obstacle that small agricultural producers have. Productive issues in the Province of Formosa, even more so in the interior, is of little research development, it is due to this reason that it was decided to study the stratum of small producers of the Loma San Pablo neighborhood. For the study, we focused on two culturally hereditary aspects, those related to the productive and demographic, in this way based on the methodological steps that the work followed (in situ surveys, interviews with productive entities, bibliographic analysis and preparation and interpretation of graphs ), this characteristic of generational dragging that producers from the same stratum generally present was made known, and thus have a perspective of aspiring to new horizons in rural areas, even more so in the small producer stratum. As a result, it showed a great dependence on agro-cultural inheritances in this stratum of producers, issues that are respected in the past in the colony, and does not allow rural families to advance.
