Peasant economies, forestry industry and fires: socio-natural instabilities and agriculture as means of resistance1 1 This article was supported by FONDECYT under the grant: "Agroecología y Agricultura Orgánica en el Centro Sur de Chile: . Cadenas de Valor y Redes de Gobernanza" (Nº 11110020)

The recurrence of fires in Chilean monoculture forestry raises a number of questions about the socio-natural stability of mono-exporting economies. This article problematizes the territorial relationship between forestry industry -heavily subsidized- and peasant agriculture -historically marginalized-, revealing coexistence and stabilization difficulties and problems to reach a socio-natural assemblage respecting and including the needs of human and non-human actors.
