It uses the socio-technical configuration of the technology as a conceptual framework, which postulates the existence of a set of factors that significantly affect the way in which technologies operate. Based on this framework, the article describes the conditions under which small-scale farmers in the Chaco region adopt gm cotton; and it identifies the differences between them and large-scale farmers, on which most of the literature focuses. Qualitative methodologies are used to analyse the breaks and continuities in productive practices affecting the profitability of small-scale farmers since the introduction of gm cotton. It is found that the productive difficulties they face have remained essentially unchanged, and, in some cases, have become more accentuated. 2014-01-02T18:46:06Z 2014-01-02T18:46:06Z 2012-08 Texto Sección o Parte de un Documento http://hdl.handle.net/11362/11596 LC/G.2536-P en CEPAL Review CEPAL Review 107 application/pdf ARGENTINA ARGENTINA
