Abstract

The debate on rural development has undergone a strong renewal due to transformations in agriculture, and in rural economies and societies. In this context, a broader vision of the rural medium has been observed, which includes rururban spaces where services and supply chains relating to local and regional production and consume are located. Ofparticular importance are non-agricultural occupations as additional income sources for rural homes. This paper explores these issues in the province of Buenos Aires -the main area of agricultural production in the pampeana region of Argentina-. Some of the features analyzed here are population trends and the rural-urban configuration; the characteristics of the territories that are potential or real bases for pluriactive strategies by the rural population; and the characteristics of the institutional webs that accompany redefinitions of territorial governance. In light of these elements, some issues for reflection are introduced in terms of the formulation of rural development policies.
