This work sheds light on the contemporary economic and sociocultural changes of rural areas in the Andes analysed in relation to migration. The later is not considered as a simple attraction mechanism that turns farmers into 'passive migrants' but as a fully-fledged component of the farming economy and part of family survival - or even development logic. The way in which spatial mobility moulds new relationships with space and with home territories is explored, and also the role that migration plays in the readjustment,and sometimes deep-seated changes, in the logic of agricultural production, modes of consumption and also food systems.

The study combines both quantitative methods (socioeconomic monitoring of households and holdings, food consumption survey) and qualitative approaches (observation/participation, accounts of lives). The rural region of Cochabamba and the three villages studied are first set in the local, regional and national contexts. In the heart of the eastern cordillera of Bolivia, the region is one of the most densely populated in the country. It is in a key position between the Altiplano highlands and the Oriente lowlands that currently form the major attraction for migration and the main centre of economic development in Bolivia. The region was deeply affected by the socio-historical processes of Spanish colonisation and has inherited an old agricultural tradition founded on domination by large estates.
