Native forests and sustainable management in the Argentine dry Chaco

Abstract

In the present work we analyze a particular case at the national and sub-national level (deepening the province of Chaco), from the theoretical perspective of sustainable development. This is the case of the use of natural resources, the interaction forest / agricultural activity, the regulation and implementation of the package of public policies to a particular sector of the economy: the forestry sector of the province and its interaction with native forests. The objective of this work is to observe the impact of the implementation of Law 1762-R (formerly 6409) (OTBN) where the use of natural resources is carried out in a way that enables the satisfaction of the needs of the present without compromising the future generations . The case of the implementation of the Law meant a before and after in the regulation of forestry, forestry and industrial activity, its inter-relationship with the expansion of the agricultural frontier and with citizens in general. However, it is immersed in a national development strategy that does not allow it to overcome the mechanisms of value transfer to central countries under the extractive logic as a productivity compensation mechanism.
