Abstract

This paper discusses the strategies of ArgentinaÍ€™s main rural development programs, and their accomplishments and possibilities in the context of neoliberal macroeconomic adjustment. It analyzes whether the actions being carried out are suitable and whether assistance to the rural poor (promoted by international financing organizations) is feasible in the face of the neoliberal policies negative impact on small and intermediate farmers and ranchers. Although rural development programs began in Argentina with the restoration of democracy in the 1980s, the first significant actions were not taken until the 1990s. The different programs that have followed, often overlapping, are the object of our study.
