Desmantelar patriarcado (también) construyendo soberanía alimentaria

The document examines the intersection of gender justice and food sovereignty, arguing that the industrial food system relies on the patriarchal exploitation of women. It advocates for agroecology and feminist economics to redistribute care work and ensure women's autonomy over land and seeds.

• The industrial food system and agribusiness rely on the patriarchal exploitation of women's labor, mirroring the way they exploit the land. Women are responsible for 50% of global food production and 60-80% in developing countries, yet they face higher rates of hunger and limited access to resources.
• Women face severe systemic inequalities regarding land ownership and financial resources. Globally, women own less than 13% of agricultural land and receive only 1% of all credits, despite their central role in food production.
• Industrial agriculture negatively impacts women's health, specifically their hormonal and reproductive systems, through the use of agrotoxics and pollutants. In Nigeria, gas flaring in the Niger Delta causes acid rain and atmospheric pollution that destroys farmers' livelihoods and harms human health.
• Agroecology is presented as a key political tool for food sovereignty and the eradication of patriarchy because it promotes equitable power relations and respects the environment. The document asserts that 'there is no agroecology without feminism,' as women are primary defenders of seeds and territories.
• The 'sexual division of labor' places an unfair burden of unpaid care and domestic work on women, which the document argues is essential for capitalist accumulation. It calls for a reorganization of this work to be shared between men, women, and the State, and for the adoption of feminist economics that values care work.
