The article addresses the trajectory and adaptative process of Chilean peasant agriculture from the mid-1970s to 2020. Our hypothesis is that peasant agricultural production has been forced into a process of permanent reconversion, which takes place every time a new agrarian policy is defined. Based on a review of secondary data, interviews, documents and other studies on agrarian transformation, we undertake a sociohistorical analysis of the adaptative process of peasant agriculture to these changes in the irrigated valleys of Chile’s central area. We also address the role played by the state in these developments. Our analysis highlights the difficulties of adapting to the neoliberal modernization process, as well as the most recent problems involving drought and the dispute over water in the central valley.

后土地改革阶段智利农民农业的生产现代化和挑战

本文探讨了 20 世纪 70 年代中期至 2020 年智利小农农业的发展轨迹和适应过程。我们的假设是，小农农业生产被迫进入永久性的再转变过程，每次制定新的农业政策时都会发生这种转变。基于对关于农业转型的二手数据、访谈、文件和其他研究的回顾，我们对智利中部地区灌溉河谷的小农农业适应这些变化的过程进行了社会历史分析。我们还讨论了国家在这些发展中发挥的作用。我们的分析强调了适应新自由主义现代化进程的困难，以及最近涉及干旱和中央山谷水纠纷的问题。
