Resumen
Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar las experiencias de las mujeres de la agricultura familiar agroecológica en los municipios de Mercedes y San Andrés de Giles. Para ello, se recurre al análisis cualitativo mediante tres entrevistas realizadas en profundidad a mujeres productoras neorrurales que conciben la agroecología como una forma de vida y un acto de resistencia política. A partir de estos testimonios, se exploran sus trayectorias como agentes de transformación territorial, sus resistencias al modelo extractivista del agronegocio y su papel como constructoras de alternativas de territorialidad. El análisis se organiza en torno a cinco dimensiones: 1) las trayectorias de las entrevistadas y sus concepciones sobre lo rural, 2) su vínculo con la naturaleza, 3) el cuidado de la naturaleza como pilar de la construcción de territorios, 4) la relación cuerpo-territorio y las marcas de la resistencia, y 5) el analfabetismo ecológico en diálogo con las nociones de cuidado. Como resultado, se concluye que las mujeres de la agricultura familiar agroecológica se involucran en actividades políticas y organizativas para defender sus derechos y el de sus comunidades. Por un lado, desde sus propias producciones modifican los usos del suelo extractivista a producciones agroecológicas. Por otro lado, intervienen activamente en la construcción de ordenanzas que fomenten la agroecología y en espacios de participación. De acuerdo con las entrevistas, se observa que en todo este proceso el cuidado es un eje transversal en sus vidas, desde el cual producen agroecología y vinculan lo productivo, lo doméstico y lo comunitario en un esfuerzo por visibilizar las dimensiones invisibilizadas.
This article aims to analyze the experiences of women engaged in family-based agroecological farming in the municipalities of Mercedes and San Andrés de Giles, Argentina. The study employs a qualitative approach based on three in-depth interviews with neo-rural women producers who conceive agroecology as both a way of life and an act of political resistance. Through these testimonies, the article explores their trajectories as agents of territorial transformation, their resistance to the extractivist agribusiness model, and their role as builders of alternative forms of territoriality. The analysis is organized around five dimensions: 1) the interviewees’ trajectories and their conceptions of rural life, 2) their relationship with nature, 3) care for nature as a pillar in the construction of territories, 4) the body-territory relationship and the marks of resistance, and 5) ecological illiteracy in dialogue with notions of care. The study concludes that women in family-based agroecological farming engage in political and organizational activities to defend their own rights and those of their communities. On the one hand, through their production practices, they transform extractivist land uses into agroecological systems; on the other, they actively participate in drafting local ordinances that promote agroecology and in community decision-making spaces. According to the interviews, care emerges as a transversal axis in their lives— one through which they practice agroecology and connect the productive, domestic, and community spheres in an effort to make visible what has traditionally been rendered invisible.
