| Descripción: | In the current historical period, the infringement and subjugation of basic human rights have arisen as the last frontier of capitalism. As a result, modern uses of territory are often irrational for most of the society, thus becoming forms of accumulation by dispossession, which represent a direct threat to public health. The purpose of this paper is to show that the cultivation of Burley tobacco in the province of Misiones operates, under the aegis of contract farming, as a model that clearly contributes to the dispossession of the right to health of the local peasantry. In order to fulfil this goal, this article analyzes the main features of the tobacco model, the different forms of dispossession implemented by transnational corporations to the detriment of family farmers, social and health implications of the intensive use of pesticides, and the role played by the state. |
