The intensified concentration of land, powerful political and social processes -headed by the Argentine Agrarian Federation (faa) -current debates about small-scale European agriculture, as well as the active role of small production in economic development in Japan, Taiwan and South Korea, among other countries, constitute some of the various phenomena promoting an interest in family farming, especially in the context of a new agenda for rural development in Argentina. In the debate on family farming, we often used to see opposed views on the type of support it should be given and, as a consequence, on the role this sector should play in regional development. The present study makes a number of reflections that turn on these questions, often presented in the academic approach as axioms or dogmas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
