Family Farming in El Salvador: Chronicle of a Death Foretold?
Keywords:
Agriculture, El Salvador, Family Farming Plan, peasant, public policyAbstract
The following article has as objective to analyze the emergence in El Salvador of family farming and the social category family farmer. To that end, this article uses mainly two theoretical concepts: family farming and policy transfer. Evidence suggests that the appropriation of the social category “family farmer” in El Salvador responds to a an update of formerly used concepts small producer or commercial producer. Hence, it’s not possible to find technical, theoretical or methodological grounds to justify the use of family farmer as new social category in El Salvador. The adoption of family farmer comes as a result of a policy transfer enhanced by three vectors: political affinity between Brazil’s and El Salvador’s presidents, bureaucrats paper and work performed by intergovernmental organizations.Downloads
