Summary

Families migrating from the high-altitude Quebrada de Humahuaca to the periurban region of Florencio Varela, Argentina, retain and adapt agricultural knowledge, demonstrating a form of food sovereignty through small-scale production. The study, comparing these regions, highlights how migrant families integrate local practices with new socio-environmental conditions, ensuring food security despite migration. Methodologically, it combines census data analysis with ethnographic fieldwork to characterize producers and their productive-food systems. This research underscores the resilience of small-scale agriculture in mobile populations and its role in sustaining food autonomy.
