‘Winners’ and ‘losers’ of the agricultural expansion in the Argentine Dry Chaco

Agricultural expansion in the Argentine Dry Chaco, driven by global food demand, asymmetrically affects social wellbeing and generates conflicts over natural resource access. This study reveals how land-use changes disproportionately impact rural communities, creating 'winners' and 'losers' that exacerbate inequalities. By analyzing these dynamics, the research provides critical insights for territorial planning and conflict resolution strategies, aiming to foster more just and sustainable relationships between people and nature in complex landscapes.
