description A fundamental feature of the new productive model that was consolidated in the last two decades, is the centrality acquired by capitalist enterprises. This involves a number of questions which should be considered insofar they are related to the analysis of the formation of these social fraction, the identification of the features that give them unity and their internal diversity. In this paper, we explore the importance and the role of land ownership in these sectors, both in terms of capital composition as of technical, productive and investment strategies they adopt. The issue is a controversial point related to the question about the type of players that have led soybean expansion, a debate that turns to the importance of land rent in the accumulation of entrepreneurial agriculture vis a vis technology, scientific knowledge and networking, through partnerships and agreements between different actors. The paper addresses these issues through the analysis of quantitative and qualitative information of a group of entrepreneurs from the Pampa region

This involves a number of questions which should be considered insofar they are related to the analysis of the formation of these social fraction, the identification of the features that give them unity and their internal diversity. In this paper, we explore the importance and the role of land ownership in these sectors, both in terms of capital composition as of technical, productive and investment strategies they adopt. The issue is a controversial point related to the question about the type of players that have led soybean expansion, a debate that turns to the importance of land rent in the accumulation of entrepreneurial agriculture vis a vis technology, scientific knowledge and networking, through partnerships and agreements between different actors. The paper addresses these issues through the analysis of quantitative and qualitative information of a group of entrepreneurs from the Pampa region Un rasgo fundamental del nuevo modelo productivo que se consolidó en las últimas dos décadas es la centralidad que adquieren las capas empresariales. Este hecho encierra una serie de interrogantes en los que conviene detenerse, en tanto aluden al análisis de los procesos de constitución de estas capas, que involucran tanto la identificación de los rasgos que les dan unidad, como su grado de diversidad. En este trabajo, interesa fundamentalmente explorar la importancia y el papel que la propiedad de la tierra retiene en estos sectores, tanto en términos de la configuración de su capital y patrimonio como en las estrategias técnico-productivas, y de inversión que definen. El tema es un punto controversial que remite al interrogante sobre el tipo de actores que sostienen la expansión sojera, debate que vuelve a poner en juego la importancia de la renta de la tierra en la acumulación del sector, vis a vis la tecnologí­a, el conocimiento cientí­fico, y las lógicas de puesta en red de los espacios agrí­colas, a través de de asociaciones y contratos entre diferentes actores. El trabajo aborda estas cuestiones a partir del análisis de información cuantitativa y cualitativa de un conjunto de empresarios de la región pampeana 2012-07-30 2022-03-16T17:59:26Z 2022-03-16T17:59:26Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://www.mundoagrario.unlp.edu.ar/article/view/v12n24a04 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/26565 spa https://www.mundoagrario.unlp.edu.ar/article/view/v12n24a04/2142 https://www.mundoagrario.unlp.edu.ar/article/view/v12n24a04/html application/pdf text/html Centro de Historia Argentina y Americana Mundo Agrario; Vol. 12 No. 24 (2012) Mundo Agrario; Vol. 12 Núm. 24 (2012) Mundo Agrario; Vol. 12 N.º 24 (2012) 1515-5994
