description This article analyses from an ethnographic perspective, two flood events that occurred in the productive peri-urban area of La Plata, Argentina, in 2017 and 2023-2024. The research focuses on the horticultural and floricultural sectors, where floods profoundly disrupt productive and reproductive dynamics, revealing growing social and environmental vulnerability. Producers' responses include migration, livelihood diversification, the use of loans and the adoption of agroecological practices—everyday strategies that intensify after each flood. These catastrophic events sometimes function as liminal moments that allow social actors to reconstruct their material conditions and everyday relationships, such as the transition to agroecology. However, these creative arrangements must be understood as articulated with organisational and state support, as well as with networks of trust grounded in kinship and shared place of origin.

Este artículo analiza desde una perspectiva etnográfica, dos sucesos de inundación ocurridos en el periurbano productivo de La Plata, Argentina, en los años 2017 y 2023-2024. La investigación se centra en los sectores hortícolas y florícolas, donde las inundaciones alteran profundamente las dinámicas productivas y reproductivas exponiendo una creciente vulnerabilidad social y ambiental. Las respuestas de los productores incluyen migración, diversificación laboral, el uso de préstamos y la adopción de prácticas agroecológicas, estrategias cotidianas que se intensifican tras cada inundación. Estos eventos catastróficos, en ocasiones, funcionan como momentos liminares que permiten a los actores sociales reconstruir sus condiciones materiales y relaciones cotidianas, como la transición hacia la agroecología. No obstante, estos arreglos creativos deben entenderse articulados con el apoyo organizacional y estatal, así como redes de confianza basadas en parentesco y paisanaje. Este artigo analisa, a partir de uma perspetiva etnográfica, os eventos de inundação que ocorreram na área periurbana produtiva de La Plata, Argentina. A investigação centra-se nos sectores da horticultura e da floricultura, onde as inundações alteram profundamente as dinâmicas produtivas e reprodutivas, expondo uma crescente vulnerabilidade social e ambiental. As respostas dos produtores incluem a migração, a diversificação do trabalho, o recurso a empréstimos e a adoção de práticas agroecológicas, estratégias quotidianas que se intensificam após cada inundação. Esses eventos catastróficos funcionam, por vezes, como momentos liminares que permitem aos atores sociais reconstruir suas condições materiais e relações cotidianas, como a transição para a agroecologia. Esses arranjos criativos, no entanto, devem ser entendidos como articulados com apoios organizacionais e estatais, bem como com redes de confiança baseadas no parentesco e na afinidade.
