Territory is not a mere geographical space but a disputed site. Agribusiness has implied a complex reconfiguration of territory. In Argentina GM soybean monoculture has replaced other agricultural activities, and there has been a radical expansion towards new frontiers. Argentina is among the largest exporters of GM soy foods and production depends on a technological package provided by multinational corporations, including seeds, machinery, agrochemicals, and fertilizers, services like storage and logistics, as well as digitally connected machinery, fumigation planes, satellites that provide climate information, specialists and technicians.  Soy has a strategic place in the Argentine economic model, and contribute to GDP thanks to export taxes, but also to financial speculation and investment pools. A central part of the GM soy production is fumigations with agrochemicals, something that has encountered resistance in different contexts and led to wide mobilization among citizens. There are alternative production models emerging out of this resistance, characterized as the agroecological turn, with substitution of external supplies, diversification and recuperation of native seeds and plants. It is oriented to local markets and criticizes the dislocation of indigenous groups and small-scale farmers, contamination and soil erosion. 

The private sector promises that the use of Big Data and artificial intelligence will save fertilizer costs, increase yieldd, and contribute to more efficient agriculture including sustainablele solutions like to fight hunger. However, speculation and the use of data have even been identified as aggravating the food crisis due to higher food prices. This implies that digital transformation, despite the increase in the production of food, does not necessarily benefit the poorest sectors of society.  Here we want to elaborate on how an assemblage, constituted by heterogeneous elements like people, ideas, landscapes, knowledge, material and technologies, and is formed through a process of what has been called “social labour”.

 "Digital transformation" is not only a virtual phenomenon, but it is developed to govern our resources and common goods, so it is related to access to land, social relations, and agricultural practices. Since data is presented as a new resource, it is relevant to study the reconfiguration of territory and digital transformation from a political ecology perspective, allowing the understanding of conflicts and struggles generated by the forms of asymmetric access to resources. We need to understand how data, digital tools and resources are appropriated, as well as the development of digital competence in the analysis of data, and of the interaction between the use of technologies with agricultural production. In turn, the privatization of information infrastructures allows corporations to market data generated by users, a form of capital accumulation that aims to predict and modify human behavior and markets. We acknowledge that there is a difficulty of obtaining official data in Argentina and land use maps are absent. This accumulation logic establishes new asymmetric social relationships due to access to technology, data and technological skills.
