In the last years the Argentinean agrarian system has a lot of changes around an advance of agricultural activities where the animal husbandry was most important, economical deregulations, reorientation of the food products for the exportation, an open access to import diverse supplies like agrarian machines, fertilizers, pesticides, etc.; expansion of some transgenic seeds like soya and corn, concentration and centralization of agri-food production, etc. These changes have a strong impact in the Argentinean agrarian structure and in the everyday life of the small farmers and peasants in the context of a radical territorial reorganization in the national scale. In this article we introduce some of the characteristics of this new agrarian model and the links with the "food access" issues in the neoliberal globalization context. In this sense, we analyze the multiple social, political, economical and cultural factors that affect in the food production, distribution and commercialization, as well as in the different meanings around the issues of "food access" based on the debates between the concepts of "Food Sovereignty" and "Food Security".
