Resumen:
Sustainable Development Goal N° 6 (3) states that by 2030, we must improve water quality by reducing pollution, and minimize chemicals release.On the contrary in Argentina, Buenos Aires Provincial Congress is analyzing a bill of law which reduces agricultural herbicides use distances between fields and households, without protecting water.Agriculture is the main activity developed in Argentina, and in 2016 a bill of law was partially aproved by Buenos Aires Provincial Congress focusing on exclusion zones. It fixes a distance of 500 meters for agricultural spraying, but is reduced to a 100 meters for the most toxic products, and to 10 meters for moderate chemicals. The purpose of this paper is to analyze regulations and jurisprudence regarding agrochemical use in Argentina.The spatial scope chosen was from 2008 until present, where we started to analyse jurisprudence from a selection of argentine provinces.
