Theoretical reflections on feminist approach to agroecology

Abstract

The objective of the paper is to discuss how different feminist and ecofeminist approaches
can help to give visibility to the contribution of women for the construction of agroecology. For
that, it reviews some basic concepts of feminist theories, calling attention to the existence of
peasant, indigenous and postcolonial ideas that could contribute to the potential of social transformation
proposed by agroecology.
