| Summary: | This paper aims to unravel the formation of an eco-technocratic device behind the "techno-ecological practices" of some integrated agro-food producers. These practices are based on technologies that operate articulating power relations of these actors in connection to world agro-foods markets. The article has an interpretive emphasis and is based on analysis of information generated from in-depth interviews to businessmen of the wine, canning, oil and livestock industries with international commercial links and located in the oasis of the Mendoza river in Argentina. Throughout the paper we analyze certain "techno-ecological practices" and how they are embedded into a specific device that locates and differentiates these entrepreneurs not only in international markets, but also before State and society. |
