To fulfill these designs, an exhaustive field work has been carried out based on the conduct and systematization of surveys, in-depth interviews complemented with the analysis of specialized bibliography and statistics of the sector. In addition, maps have been made that summarize the trajectories of the various groups that make up Luján's horticulture The conclusions that have been reached are a way of contributing to the understanding of the territories of rural-urban interface, as extremely complex and dynamic spaces, crossed by pressures such as commodity production and real estate speculation; contribute to the conceptualization of the territory and characterize the horticulturists of the party.
