Resumen:
The Round Table on Responsible Soy (RTRS) is an international multi-stakeholder initiative created with the aim of promoting a ?socially equitable, economically feasible, environmentally sound soy?. To fulfil this goal, its main strategy has been based on the development of a certification system that seeks to regulate the social, economic and environmental impacts of the soy global value chain. This paper examines the concrete transformations that RTRS is able to produce when implemented in productive contexts. While its standards can be applied anywhere in the world, most of the certifications so far have been granted in South America. Consequently, this paper will focus on this region by analysing the case of the province of Córdoba, one of the most important soy-producingregions in Argentina. Resorting to a regulation conceptual framework, the paper will discuss RTRS? transformative capacity vis-à-vis the sector?s conventional practices and institutions.
