For the field study we will be exploring the south of the province of Mendoza, passing first through the Uco Valley. There, it will be possible to observe the territorialization and impacts of the globalization of viticulture, the expansion of crops towards the mountains and the use of water, as well as peasant resistance and alternative food networks. Then we will continue to Malargüe, of a ‘North- Patagonian’ character, where we will observe livestock systems typical of arid/semiarid areas, with transhumant goat herders, as well as socio-environmental conflicts related to mining and fracking, conflicts over access to water and problems of access to land for small shepherds and the native population. We will also visit local initiatives on sustainable rural tourism.
