ARGENTINAS FEDERATED WOMEN IN THE DAY REFLECTIONS ON THE USE AND LAND


The panel coordinated by Dr. Aldo Cascella where Youth participate Secretary Stephen Motta, MFA through Cortizas Monica, CABA President of Women, and Polidoro Monica presented a document that tries to install the gender perspective as a key issue in the problems of the Land. Beyond being the first time that we talk about gender within our Agrarian Federation, the following document aims to enrich the debate with a strong expression of desire that during the years of work being can go days of discussion by different path A conference on the Use and Land Tenure

"Use and Land Tenure in Gender Equity"

This document attempts to lead the debate, a look that shows the gender perspective in all agricultural sectors. Make
this opportunity to exit the misconception that gender plays a woman thing, dig clarify that gender is Male or Female.
According to the agricultural census of 2002, in Argentina there: 169,463,453 hectares, under the control of individuals, 3,814,446 ha, prosecutors and 1,530,640 ha, not determined (because there is pending litigation, can be private or public).
As can be seen in Argentina, the largest amount of land is held by individuals, the transmission and mobility of rural property is channeled through the following variables:
1) The Heritage
2) Market
3) The State

1.-The inheritance distribution is the most enduring of the earth in time and greater volume. This variable is the most important indicator to establish the differences between men and women in the legal ownership of land
addition is the most equitable distribution between men and women as a result of Argentina, is taking the laws governing the inheritance, according to English colonial law. Which states that under the matrimonial regime of profit sharing, half the couple's common property is retained by the surviving spouse and their children inherit the remaining 50% spread equal parts. The property inherited by each spouse, never cease to be separate property if the marriage is dissolved, only divided the marital property.
The patriarchal culture and customs of farming families, where in some cases favor the eldest son over the minor children or daughters and economic factors as economic units are not profitable to hold all members of the family, makes the other sons and daughters to migrate to nearby towns or big cities, out of the land and family farming company to enter the market of both public and private work (as teachers, merchants or service providers et al.)
Whether by legislation or by the greater longevity of women (5 years longer than men) or as many people women can say that in the case of legal property ownership of land, there is no evidence concentration through the male, seen through the male focus on the use and control of land.

2 .- The market is an area where further exchanges occur through the purchase and sale of legal ownership of land and is where there is gender inequality and economic and social impact.
Today the land is considered a financial asset, a view that undermines family farming, in our view, the Earth should be a social good since been distributed to those who work with special legislation, where the Leasing Act by our organization, would be a beginning of a solution, accompanied by other laws such as tax reform. The market today
regulates the value of the land, and occurs because the Pool of Planting progress and consolidation predominantly in male hands, causing desfamilirización and the decision to abandon the farms by actors
AF We affirm that the estate and the market are traditional channels for access to the land of the middle and upper classes of the agrarian structure. In contrast, the peasantry and Aboriginal considered subaltern do so from the state.
3 .- The state variable is the transmission of the land market as well as gender discrimination, as in the distribution of public lands is privileged man, in almost all cases. Only women are privileged when it is as heads of households. In Patagonia, the land is given to Aboriginal communities as compensation for historical and cultural reasons are required in a community, nevertheless, who governs the use and control is always the man.
In the NEA and NOA qualifications are developed or planned new settlements in these cases usually the chief benefits family.


Another aspect to take into account, we believe important to express and think this is the ideal setting is about the invisibility of those who are legal owners of the land, and the securitization contains a single actor in the family farming business.
consulted with partner tell us that if you include all stakeholders would be taxed. Also the census do not show reality. We ask ourselves if they would be visible the women and youth over 21 years, could access the public policies that are aimed at family farming business?
Another question we must ask why they close the gap gender? Is it just an ethical issue? Or ignorance or solution of this gap leads us to an economic, social and cultural impact

Repair history: Although it seems a utopian view, would be important for those actors of Family Farming, which were driven production system, are able to return their origins, rooted to the ground again. These actors in small productive units, that divided among the members of one family, by inheritance, not today make up a production unit cost and there is no other way that the lease or sale, achieved through a compensation fund historical access to new plots, the technology necessary to bring them into production, operating capital and everything needed to succeed in producing, work and live with dignity in the land. These players must recover
visibility girders of a register of agricultural producers as a subject and not as agricultural holdings, as it is today, a record that can determine how many are those who were displaced to the city to perform other functions, now think again and to return their land because the devaluation of wages and inflation puts them back into a poverty situation yesterday and by now it is necessary a historical reparation

Conclusions:
1-When we speak from a gender perspective, recognizing that we are the men and women, with different inserts and needs within the productive system, raised from the Family Farm, all actors participate necessary, the base production model of our struggle, AGRICULTURE WITH FARMERS . The current model, economic concentration, which defamiliarizes production. It happens because it is modeled only one of the actors in the AF, without a serious and responsible survey that brings out who are the subject farm which currently make use and land tenure.
2. As expressed in the last day of reflection on the Use and Land Tenure, August 2009, is the first time in our organization is speaking from the perspective of gender, as expressed by Dr. Aldo Cascella, because we propose


Proposals:


1 - Implementation of public policies including all actors in the AF, so that there is a true sustainable development.
2 - Performing various days of debate, the way to the second Congress of Use and Land Tenure, from a gender perspective to a detailed study of data conforming to reality is to undertake a program of concrete proposals from this look.
BICENTENNIAL AND SECOND CONGRESS OF USE AND LAND.: Promote creation of a compensation fund in rural HISTORICAL, with the overall objective of ensuring WITH SUSTAINABLE RURAL DEVELOPMENT SOCIAL INCLUSION AND EQUITY
