This article seeks to outline the organization forms that developed among Chilean farmers during the fi rst year Allende´s government. It also tries to shed light on the relation that these forms of organization established with the government and the Unidad Popular’s policies, and to what extent the organizational process of the “consejos campesinos” was independent of the strategy drawn up by the political organizations present in the government, leading to the farmers´ political radicalization. At the same time it is an attempt to contribute to the debate about the peasant movement in its relation with Allende´s Government and the different phenomena that it generated within the left parties.
