Abstract

The continuous dispossession of the peasantry has been essential for the implementation of neoliberal reforms in the Chilean agricultural sector. This article focuses on Chile’s experience as an extreme case of neoliberal transformations. After describing the main reforms and public policies impacting peasants, their own response is discussed. The main argument is that despite such reforms, it is possible to observe new forms of peasant organization and production. In this sense, several organizational and productive experiences are briefly outlined. It concludes that this recent experience indicates a necessary and possible break with the dominant agribusiness arrangement, but apparently not sufficient to pursue a structural transformation of the food system.
