Description
Summary:This paper aims to analyze the emergence of the term postproductivism and to contribute a theoretic base that could serve to the later use of this concept by the Spanish rural scientists interested in this subject. In this way, after an introductory first part the text includes questions related with the origin and the position of the postproductivism in the social science movements. Furthermore it is analyzed the postproductivist’s agrarian viewpoint starting for the rural context, in the same way the European Union (EU) endeavour to show the European fields under the scope of sustainability and multifunctionality. So, the postproductivism express this new rurality that is enunciated by the public institutions, despite of that, the reality is sufficiently different because of the productivist systems continue having a great acceptation between the European farmers.
