Irrigated Perimeters and Eco-Social Diagnosis. Case Study: North Br ila TerraceIrrigated Perimeters and Eco-Social Diagnosis. Case Study: North Br ila Terrace

The irrigation systems determine the modernization of agricultural activities by promoting technical innovation and emancipation of rural social networks, by inducing and dissipating the organizational behaviours and transformation of rural traditional values. As a response to the rural patrimony changes, the hydro-agricultural development generates strong agricultural zones with diverse agricultural structures and socio-ecological particularities. In these spatial economic contexts, the rural communities manage to keep food insecurity under control, to reduce unemployment, mainly in the case of male labour force, to promote rural women’s economic involvement.
