Sumario:The pandemic context and the mobility’s restrictions imposed by the Aislamiento Social Preventivo y Olbligatorio in Argentina produced a general sensation of vulnerability that enabled the discussion about the essential for the day-to-day citizen’s life. All the debates put the key of the discussion in all the steps of food production and especially in its organization connected with territories. In this article, we try to reflect on the progressive changes that affected family farming in particular. Our postulation is that these subjects are essential and we are invited to reflect other processes connected with urban and rural territories. In order to organize all considerations, we propose a series of axes associated with the supply and consumption of food and with the problems and opportunities faced by family farmers within the framework of the current agri-food model. This paper is a qualitative reflection for the pandemic context and its results. We analyze notes in papers, oral testimonies in the press and material available on social networks.
