Mundo agrario es una revista electrónica cuatrimestral sobre cuestiones rurales en sus aspectos sociales, económicos, políticos y culturales, que publica artículos originales e inéditos, comunicaciones, reseñas bibliográficas y una sección destinada a debatir un tema específico. Este espacio se abre desde la historia rural hacia el conjunto de los estudios sociales agrarios (sociología, antropología, geografía) Si bien la revista privilegiará las cuestiones agrarias argentinas y latinoamericanas, estará abierta a las temáticas provenientes de otras geografías, promoviendo con ello el desarrollo de una perspectiva comparada sobre las temáticas que abarca. Mundo agrario, que apareció por primera vez en 2000, fue creada con el objetivo de abrir un nuevo espacio para la difusión de las investigaciones y el debate de ideas en torno a la historia rural. Actualmente es editada por el Centro de Historia Argentina y Americana del Instituto de Investigaciones en Humanidades y Ciencias Sociales, perteneciente a la Facultad de Humanidades y Ciencias de la Educación de la Universidad Nacional de La Plata y al Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas.
