Description: The effort to reduce exploitation costs and to control the different stages of the production process -including the transformation and commercialization- were some of the causes which drove European farmers to associate themselves since the middle of the XIXth century. The possibility of having access to the financing of their activities, as well as what was mentioned above, determined the development of cooperative forms.

These experiences were projected towards the new agricultures in South America, keeping a similar structure in their organization, although incorporating the peculiarities which implied a different economic and social context.

It is our intention to compare, through the presentation of research works, the management and evolution of associationism in Europe and Latin America, as well as its impact on the improvement of life standards and the income perceived by the partners.

Participants: Ana María Mateu (Argentina); Susana Dominzain (Uruguay); Carlos Sanhueza (Argentina); Celia López (Argentina); Samuel Garrido (Spain); Cándido Román Cervantes (Spain); Francisco Fernández (Spain); Ernesto López (Spain); Carlos Legna (Argentina); Margarita Fernades (Portugal); Giuliano Muzzioli (Italy); Vassilis Patronis (Greece); Michael Prinz (Germany).
