El Instituto Nacional de Tecnologia Agropecuaria de Argentina (INTA) fue creado en 1956 en el contexto de politicas tendientes a la recuperacion de la economia del agro, siguiendo las recomendaciones de la CEPAL. En tal sentido, es un exponente de la vision que en la epoca se sostenia acerca del desarrollo y de la funcion de la tecnologia en tal proceso. Desde el comienzo se le asigno una funcion dual, expresada en la extension y la investigacion. Durante anos se lo considero como un organismo exitoso. Sin embargo, el cambio del paradigma tecnologico y las bruscas transformaciones del contexto economico y politico del pais fue creando tensiones internas y dificultades externas para su desenvolvimiento. Este trabajo trata de dilucidar tales cuestiones.// Argentinas National Institute of Agricultural Technology (INTA, as per its Spanish acronym) was created in 1956 as part of the policies developed to promote the recovery of agricultural economy, following the recommendations of CEPAL. In this sense, it is a symbol of the vision on the development and the role of technology upheld at the time. Since the beginning INTA has had a dual role expressed in its extension and research. For years, it had been considered a successful organ. However, the change of technological paradigm and the sudden transformations of the economic and political context of the country generated inner tensions and external difficulties and hindered its normal functioning. This paper intends to determine said issues. http://d1dhn91mufybwl.cloudfront.net/iframehtml5/embed.html? hash=ft 3av5f5z&v=4.76&t=14345584891434558489] Reprinted by permission of the editors
