Construir la agricultura industrial como conflicto socioambiental

Abstract

In our work, the objective is to reflect on what elements affect the social construction of industrial agriculture as a socio-environmental conflict. The foregoing, given that this type of agriculture has experienced a considerable increase since 2004 and its practices entail serious environmental consequences such as pollution, deforestation and the intensive use of water. We start from the idea that industrial agriculture is a process of slow looting (slow violence) and that this, in addition to other elements, make it difficult to conceive it as an environmental problem and, therefore, as a socio-environmental conflict.
