LOEWY, Tomás. Rotación de cultivos en la región pampeana: volviendo a las fuentes. Estud. Econ. [online]. 2017, vol.34, n.68, pp. 93-99. ISSN 2525-1295.

Due to the changes in agricultural activity, words and concepts that used to be stable are now mutating. "Crop rotation" is a Good Agricultural Practice (GAP), emblematic in mixed systems. The objective of this work is to rescue its agronomic concept, favoring its adoption in local development and environmental care scenarios. A scheme that differentiates monoculture, crop sequence, meadow and rotation, with their respective impacts on soil quality, is presented. Technologies are never neutral, and in order to qualify them, it is necessary to locate the agrarian question within the national / global context in encompassing time periods. The decantation of both process and input techniques is part of the systems design and the sustainability of the territories.
