| description | The advance of the agricultural frontier in the province of Santiago del Estero, Argentina, has been a growing problem for local rural communities since the 1970s. Since that time, the emerging conflicts over different forms of appropriation of natural resources gave rise to the creation of spaces for the organization of local communities throughout the province.
In this context, in 2009 the Mesa de Tierras of Jiménez County was created from the confluence of peasant organizations, local communities, the Catholic Church and governmental and non-governmental organizations. This organizational space constitutes a space for discussion, assistance and elaboration of proposals in the face of the emerging conflict over the territory.
The Mesa de Tierras of Jiménez has been developing several resistance actions: monthly meetings to think about the territory, producers' fairs, collective mapping of the communities, workshops to strengthen local production (tanning, cheeses, vegetable gardens, preserves, carob derivatives, etc.), survey of land conflicts and fumigations, among others.
In this context, this work seeks to systematize these actions in order to analize the Mesa's socio-community strategies through the construction of a matrix. The methodology used is qualitative, and uses the following techniques: data recording and analysis, participant observation and semi-structured interviews.
The contribution of this work is based on making visible other forms of life and resistance in the territory, mainly through the articulations with other territorial actors. |

El avance de la frontera agrícola en la Provincia constituye para las comunidades locales del espacio rural una problemática que se ha incrementado desde la década de 1970. A lo largo de todo este tiempo, los conflictos emergentes por formas distintas de apropiación de los bienes de la naturaleza dieron origen a la generación de espacios de organización de las comunidades locales en toda la Provincia. En este contexto, en 2009 surge la Mesa de Tierras del Departamento Jiménez a partir de la confluencia de organizaciones campesinas, comunidades locales, la Iglesia Católica y organizaciones gubernamentales y no gubernamentales. Este espacio de organización constituye un ámbito de discusión, asistencia y elaboración de propuestas ante la conflictualidad emergente por el territorio. La Mesa de Tierras ha venido desarrollando diversas acciones de resistencia: reuniones mensuales para pensar el territorio, feria de productores/as, mapeo colectivo de las comunidades, talleres para fortalecer la producción local (curtidos, queso, huerta, conservas, derivados de la algarroba, etc.), relevamiento de conflictos de tierra y fumigaciones, entre otras. Este trabajo busca sistematizar estas acciones con el objetivo de analizar las estrategias socio-comunitarias de la Mesa a partir de la construcción de una matriz. La metodología utilizada es cualitativa, aplicando las siguientes técnicas: registro y análisis de datos, observación participante y entrevistas semi-estructuradas. Su aporte se basa en visibilizar otras formas de vida y resistencia en el territorio, principalmente a través de las articulaciones con otros actores territoriales.
