Abstract

PROPERSI, Patricia. Persistencia y cambio de las unidades de producción hortícola en el Cinturón Verde del Gran Rosario. Mundo agr. [online]. 2006, vol.7, n.13. ISSN 1515-5994.

The horticulture production units in the Green Belt of Gran Rosario appeared in a space traditionally used to the exportable agricultural production. Presents since the XIXth century in the area, they were growing in function of the demographic growth to the first half of 1970 approximately, when the international prices paid for the soya made this leguminous a great competitor for land. The increasing of agricultural production implied an excessive pressure over the natural environment of the rural spaces, like an alteration of the working and living conditions of the people related to this territory. This work wonders about the modifications that happened in the local social horticultural structure in the last thirty years.
