Éradiquer le patriarcat (y compris) dans la construction de la souveraineté alimentaire

The document examines the intersection of gender justice and food sovereignty, arguing that the industrial food system relies on the patriarchal exploitation of women's labor. It advocates for a transition to agroecology and feminist economics to ensure equitable access to land, seeds, and resources, while calling for the recognition and redistribution of unpaid care work.

• The industrial food system and agro-industry are characterized by a structure of domination and authority that mirrors patriarchy, specifically by limiting women's decision-making power and their access to essential resources such as water, land, and seeds.
• Despite producing between 50% and 80% of food in developing countries, women face severe economic disparities: they own only 2% of land, receive 1% of credits, and earn wages approximately 25% lower than men.
• Industrial agriculture poses specific health risks to women, including endocrine disorders, cancer, and leukemia due to toxic agricultural products, and impacts reproductive health.
• In Nigeria's Niger Delta, gas flaring by large companies causes acid rain that destroys arable land and reduces agricultural production, disproportionately affecting the livelihoods of women.
• Agroecology is presented as a feminist tool because it is based on equitable power relations and environmental respect, enabling women to reclaim their roles as subjects of rights and guardians of indigenous seeds.
• A central demand for systemic change is the recognition and reorganization of unpaid care and domestic work, which is currently a pillar of capitalist accumulation and a primary source of inequality for rural women.
