Peasant women and food sovereignty: proposals for a better living, the experience of Inzá, Cauca (Colombia)

Abstract:

In recent years, the global peasant movement has worked on an alternative to guarantee decent living conditions in rural areas. As a result, this movement has proposed Food Sovereignty (FS) to support peasant rights and struggles. Some impressions from the perspective of peasant women about the relationship between FS and the peasantry's rights were collected. Through the case study of the Women's Committee of the Peasant Association of Inzá Tierradentro, where women play a remarkable leadership role, this works aims to show that this experience reflects the materialization of alternative proposals of collective action of the peasantry for the claim of their rights.
