Abstract
The objective of this article is to characterize the processes of accumulation by plunder that have affected Chilean agriculture, taking as central references the processes of Agrarian Reform and Agrarian Counter-Reform. Methodologically, documentary research was carried out with a qualitative approach on academic texts, legislation and technical reports from governmental and private aggencies. The results identify the bases of plunder in Human Rights violations and in the loss of the protective role of the State to the benefit of the private sector; and analyze the economic, social, cultural and environmental effects generated in the long deadline. It is concluded that Chilean agriculture shows evidence of capitalist accumulation based on processes of plunder of its natural resources, whose results are the liberalization of the agricultural land market, the rapid access of private capital to rural territories with traditional agricultural production and the growing concentration of ownership around agro-industrial and forestry circuits
