In the current historical period, the infringement and subjugation of basic human rights have arisen as the last frontier of capitalism. As a result, modern uses of territory are often irrational for most of the society, thus becoming forms of accumulation by dispossession, which represent a direct threat to public health. The purpose of this paper is to show that the cultivation of Burley tobacco in the province of Misiones operates, under the aegis of contract farming, as a model that clearly contributes to the dispossession of the right to health of the local peasantry. In order to fulfil this goal, this article analyzes the main features of the tobacco model, the different forms of dispossession implemented by transnational corporations to the detriment of family farmers, social and health implications of the intensive use of pesticides, and the role played by the state. En el período histórico actual, la vulneración y el avasallamiento de los derechos humanos básicos se han erigido en la última frontera del capitalismo. Como resultado, los usos modernos del territorio suelen ser irracionales para la mayor parte de la sociedad, convirtiéndose en formas de acumulación por desposesión que a menudo representan una amenaza directa para la salud pública. En este trabajo, se procura demostrar que el cultivo de tabaco Burley en la provincia de Misiones opera, bajo la égida de la agricultura contractual, como un modelo que inequívocamente contribuye a la desposesión del derecho a la salud del campesinado local. Se analizan para ello los principales rasgos del modelo tabacalero misionero, las diversas formas de despojo implementadas por las empresas transnacionales en perjuicio de las familias agricultoras, las implicancias socio-sanitarias derivadas del uso intensivo de agrotóxicos y el papel desempeñado por el Estado.
