Agricultural heritage in the territory of the Contested party

identification and location of agricultural property for the conforming of an alternative territorial development strategy

Abstract

The objective of this article is to present studies carried out in the territory of the Autonomous Community of La Mancha (Spain), at the postdoctoral level, in or-der to investigate the implementation of development strategies based on the concept of agrarian patrimony, and subsequently , to prospect agrarian properties that may be present in the micro-region of Canoinhas (Brazil), capable of providing patrimonialisation processes, with a view to the elaboration of similar territorial development strategies. The methodological approach considered the examination of the development plans of the Autonomous Community of Castilla-La Mancha, based on fieldwork con-ducted in several provinces of that Spanish territory and relied on the literature review available on the conceptual category of agrarian patrimony. Among the main results, the following stand out: obtaining data and information about the agrarian goods pre-sent in the Spanish territory, in particular, the winemaking activity and the Route of Don Quixote, which has been receiving important patrimonialisation efforts; identification of a set of agrarian patrimonial assets existing in the micro-region of Canoinhas, both material and immaterial, which admit patrimonialisation, in particular, the production of mate and pixirum. It is concluded that the search for referentials to the pat-rimonialisation process can be based on similar strategies previously developed in other territories, such as the Autonomous Community of Castilla-La Mancha, Spain, and that the viability of this strategy will depend on a process consisting of several which will necessarily require the mobilization of social and political actors in the microregion of Canoinhas.
