| Sumario: | Agribusiness has restructured the environmental functioning of the Argentinean territory, especially in the Pampas Region, and has been questioned for its environmental impacts. A diagnosis, an analysis of the agro-productive transformations, and the subsequent environmental ordering of the territory build the foundations for planning and environmental management aimed at achieving maximum rationality in decision-making. This work delimits Agriculturalization Units and Environmental Units in the District of Tandil. The definition of Agriculturalization Units provides an insight into how the agribusiness model has rooted in the territory and how the packages resulting from the Green Revolution have been adopted according to the agroecological characteristics of territories, in the period from 1989 to 2019. Then, Environmental Units allow determining how the fusion of ecological and productive aspects and the forms of appropriation of the natural resources of each landscape either hinder or, on the contrary, promote the advancement of agriculture. Geoprocessing techniques were applied for the spatial integration of the multidisciplinary data considered. The integrated analysis of different attributes allows recognizing the potentialities and restrictions of the territorial units tending to agro-productive sustainability. Our study has evidenced the absence of a territorial environmental planning in the face of agricultural expansion involving highly vulnerable areas. |
