Andrea Sosa Varrotti, a member of CASAS, and colleagues have recently published their latest article on the AgriGenre website.
Abstract:
In this article, we analyze the intricate dynamics of the contributions made by cisgender women within the family farming sector to agroecological transition processes. Our exploration commences by dissecting and critically examining the concept of the triple workday, encompassing its spheres of productivity, reproductive/care responsibilities, and community engagement. The latter entails active involvement in institutional, organizational, and territorial endeavors. We approach agroecology from its multifaceted perspective, recognizing it as a scientific discipline, a practical approach, and a social movement. This academic, socio-political, and socio-productive framework embracing diverse elements of traditional agriculture has garnered increased significance and legitimacy over the past five decades in reshaping rural landscapes and societies. The expansive nature of this paradigm enables to reevaluate socio-productive processes through a myriad of interdisciplinary lenses. Our specific focus lies in probing the intricate social relations engendered within agroecological praxis, drawing insights from feminist studies on labor dynamics.
