Opening of the international symposium "Agroecology, gender and socio-environmental conflicts" and screening-debate

This symposium analyzes the commitment to agroecology of a diversity of subjects. Without neglecting the position of men, it opts to place itself alongside historically silenced women, in a movement that ranges from local experiences to global issues.

At the crossroads of gender studies, economics and political ecology and agroecology, the symposium aims to contribute to renovating these three fields. It is based on the results of the ANR GENgiBRe project "Rapport à la nature et égalité de genre. Feminist practices and mobilizations in agroecology in Brazil" and on the dialogue between actrices (actors) and chercheur-es in Brazil and France.
