Abstract

Social reproduction and care are subjects that have been revitalized to problematize who, how and in which conditions, life is currently sustained, in a context of lack of social protection, violence and socio-environmental damage. We find in the feminisms from Abya Yala and in the agro-ecological practices of women who are farmers, afro-descendants, indigenous and from working-class neighborhoods, keys to sensing-thinking the care beyond the domestic nucleus and to achieve its collectivization. Agroecology improves food systems and promotes food sovereignty, but it can also be a strategy that allows them to take care of themselves and their territories.
