“We are what we eat!”

A reflection on the politics of ecofeminist care as  embodied in the practice of agroecology

  • I aim to share a reflection on the ecofeminist politics of care present in agroecological food production. This analysis is developed from an ecofeminist hermeneutics. I start from an interdisciplinary and pluri-epistemological literature review which challenges the andro-anthropocentric values that constitute the basis of global financial-capitalism. This economic system, which perpetuates logics of socio-political and economic power stemming from the patriarchal system and colonial ideology, is leading to irreversible destruction on a planetary scale. Ecofeminist knowledges and practices open possibilities for human society to reconnect with its earthly nature and consequently break with the economy of death present in the world today. I choose to direct my reading towards a politics of relational care with food insomuch as I perceive the existing interconnections and the possible transformations that food provides for the realization of an economy of life, countering the fatality that threatens the Earth community.
