Family farming in Argentina has gone through a long process of institutionalization and constitution as a political actor. On August 15, 2014, through Resolution 571/2014 of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, the Council for Family, Peasant and Indigenous Farming was created. The recitals of said resolution mention the need to have a space within the ministry "of institutional articulation that groups together the management units and the Peasant, Indigenous and Family Farming Organizations of national scope". Through a structured interview with the representatives of the family farming organizations, it will be sought to describe and understand what the perception that these people who make up the Council have about it as a participatory tool for making public policy decisions. Based on the answers provided, a contrast will be made between them, the different degrees of participation and the objectives that the normative that creates the Council and Law 27.118 on family, peasant and indigenous farming establish for it.

The transformations in agricultural production in the last decades generated modifications in the Argentine agrarian structure and with those changes the agrarian subjects also changed, even in those who have shown the ability to resist the tendency to abandon the activity. These agrarian subjects intervene in the territories with different productive strategies. In this sense, there are multiple dimensions that allow approaching to all social groups found in the agrarian structure. In this work we will analyze some of them (types, forms of production, links with technology, market, multiple activities, etc.) to get closer to a characterization of these subjects.For this reason, the main objective of this work is to characterize the family producers of the southwest of Buenos Aires, in particular of the Municipalities of Adolfo Alsina and Puan in their relationship with the territory.On the other hand, also analyze if this characterization is adapted to what is expressed in the Law of Historical Reparation of Family Agriculture, Peasant and Indigenous No. 27,118 of the Argentine.The methodological approach that is proposed is qualitative. Different qualitative techniques are combined and will consist of surveys of primary and secondary sources. In particular, the study of cases and semi-structured interviews, document analysis and quantitative data such as surveys, existing numerical data and data from the National Agricultural Censuses of 1988Censuses of , 2002Censuses of and 2018
