Feminist agroecology as a pathway for rural Bolivian women’s emancipation and food system transformation
Understanding the intersection of agroecology and feminism is crucial for women’s emancipation in food system transformations. Our research explores how Bolivian indigenous and peasant women perceive agroecology’s transformative role in productive/reproductive work, knowledge, identity, and political participation. We provide nuanced insights from their experiences, emphasizing the holistic nature of work and the significance of agroecological practices in bridging divides. We highlight the importance of reclaiming knowledge and culture among these women, shaping collective cultures. Agroecological practices foster internal resilience and collective action, facilitating food system transformations. Despite women’s involvement in agroecological practices improving their conditions, patriarchal structures remain challenging.
