Abstract
Argentina specialises in agri-food production and exports. And although it has favourable agro-ecological conditions due to its soils and rainfall in the Central and Mesopotamia regions, two thirds of its territory is arid or semi-arid (in the West and South). At the same time, the phenomena of climate variability and climate change affect production even in humid or semi-humid areas. This paper seeks to provide a prospective view on the adoption of technified irrigation through different types of infrastructure and equipment to better cope with climatic phenomena and at the same time enhance agro-industrial production.
There are historical experiences, institutional antecedents and current policies on technified irrigation in Argentina. It is less common to find in the literature a comprehensive conceptual framework that addresses the different factors that influence its diffusion and that integrates in the analysis policy proposals on the different types of irrigation, whether comprehensive for dry areas or complementary for humid areas.
The work is based on the analysis of the key factors that influence the adoption of technified irrigation in Argentina, constructs three future scenarios and estimates the potential impact on employment, production and exports of the desirable scenario that is identified with a federal planning strategy on irrigation. To this end, the analysis of past and future scenarios has been used to estimate the potential impact on employment, production and exports.
