“…The technological change processes imply, essentially, behavioral changes because they are influenced by numerous economic, social, cultural and historical variables (Aguinsaca-Caraguay, 2014; Cáceres, Silvetti, & Soto, 1999;Forero-Camacho et al, 2013). Although the producers do not show a conservative behavior in relation to the context, given that they are modifying their practices permanently depending on the same through adjustments (Norgaard & Sikor, 1999), and through the incorporation or generation of new technologies, characteristics of these modifications are linked with the relative position that they occupy in the social field in which they develop their economic activity; this occurs with the amount of risk that this position allows assuming -without compromising-their social reproduction (Cáceres et al,1997).…”

“…When interpreting the technological change processes, the relationship between the behaviors shown and the social field cannot be ignored. The relative position shown by the producers in this social field is linked to structural variables that define each case, as well as to productive and social reproduction strategies that they implement (Aguinsaca-Caraguay, 2014; Cáceres et al, 1999). It is in this topic that studies on the structure and operation in the field of domestic-productive systems are of utmost importance.…”

In previous discussions about technological change, appropriate technologies emerged as one of the alternatives to the modernizing technology transfer model that prevailed for many years in Latin America. However, despite the time elapsed since its conceptual creation, it is not easy to find studies assessing interventions carried out with this type of approach. This paper addresses this subject by analyzing a technology transfer experience using goat manure as a fertilizer for household crops in Santiago del Estero (Argentina). Despite having an appropriate a priori design, the technology was not replicated by all the experimenters. A quantitative and qualitative two-stage approach was used to address it: the first approach explored structure variables used by each experimenter and correlated these with the times that he/she repeated the practice; and in the second one, an analysis of the farm operations through case studies was carried out. The results indicate that a particular farm structure did not guarantee a result in terms of adoption of an appropriate technology, and that the operation and the survival strategy (or peasant strategy) of each family gave the farm an individual dynamic that often was decisive in adopting the proposal. In addition, at least for the current experience, technology design using locally controlled resources and the presentation of a unique proposal for all the experimenters was not enough. The multiple adjustments used by peasants suggest the need to investigate local innovation processes.

En el marco de las discusiones sobre el cambio tecnológico, las Tecnologías Socialmente Apropiadas surgieron como una de las alternativas al modelo de transferencia modernizante que predominó durante muchos años en Latinoamérica. Sin embargo, a pesar del tiempo transcurrido desde su creación conceptual, no es sencillo encontrar estudios que valoren procesos de intervención realizados con este tipo de abordaje. Este trabajo busca aproximarse al tema mediante el análisis de una experiencia de estercolado de cultivos prediales con estiércol de cabra, en Santiago del Estero (Argentina). A pesar de contar con un diseño -a priori- socialmente apropiado, la tecnología no fue replicada por todos los experimentadores. Para abordarlo se utilizó un enfoque cuanti-cualitativo de dos etapas. La primera prestó atención a las variables de estructura de cada experimentador y las correlacionó con las veces que dicho experimentador reiteró la práctica. La segunda analizó el funcionamiento predial, mediante estudios de caso. Los resultados indican que una determinada estructura predial no garantizó un resultado en términos de apropiación de una Tecnología Socialmente Apropiada, y que el funcionamiento del sistema de producción y la estrategia de sobrevivencia de cada familia otorgaron al predio una dinámica propia que muchas veces resultó determinante al momento de adoptar la propuesta. Además, en la experiencia abordada, no resultó suficiente diseñar la tecnología empleando recursos con control local, ni fue conveniente presentar una única propuesta tecnológica para la totalidad de los experimentadores. Los múltiples ajustes y sustituciones tecnológicas utilizadas por los productores muestran que sería interesante trabajar con los procesos de innovación locales que se dan en el territorio.
