Notes

  1. 1.

    Many capacity building initiatives in Argentina are reported (ibid.), but none in Mendoza. Only two FAO initiatives were identified in Mendoza, discussed below in economic instruments.

  2. 2.

    Most irrigated producers are small producers, with farms less than 10 hectares; many producers have medium sized farms from 10 to 40 hectares; few (approximately 70 with 10–15 being significantly larger) have farms ranging from 700 to 1000 hectares (M2).
