本文提供了东加勒比国家组织中女性农民和粮食生产者面临的粮食系统挑战和结构性障碍的证据。这篇文章的目的是通过承认加勒比地区农村基层妇女的政治机构，增加对多数世界政治经济、发展和粮食系统的批判性文献。为此，我们集中注意社会再生产在从事农业生产的加勒比工作妇女的生活中所起的作用。我们提供的分析是通过一个混合方法项目生成的，该项目包括来自格林纳达、圣卢西亚、圣文森特和格林纳丁斯的111名农民和农业加工者。我们有意以非洲裔农村妇女的视角为中心。我们的研究表明，妇女在农业中面临的主要障碍是缺乏获得土地、特许权和资本的机会；对性别不敏感的农业推广服务；缺乏国家和部门性别政策；时间和精力被不断地浪费在无偿的社会再生产劳动上。在说明这些现实时，我们揭示了东加勒比国家组织妇女粮食生产者所面临的障碍如何与持久的殖民-种植园关系、父权社会规范和自由-资本主义逻辑密不可分。
This article provides evidence of the food system challenges and structural barriers faced by women farmers and food producers in the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States. The aim of the piece is to add to critical literatures on political economy, development and food systems in the Majority World via recognizing the political agency of rural grassroots women in the Caribbean. To do so, we focus on the role that social reproduction has in the lives of working Caribbean women who are engaged in agricultural production. The analysis we offer was generated via a mix‐method project that included 111 farmers and agro‐processors from Grenada, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines. We deliberately centre the perspectives of Afrodescendant rural women. Our study reveals the main barriers faced by women in agriculture are lack of access to land, concessions and capital; non‐gender responsive Agricultural Extension Services; an absence of national and sectorial gender policies; and ongoing dismissals of the time and effort that goes into unwaged socially reproductive labour. In illustrating these realities, we cast light on how the barriers faced by women food producers in the OECS are inextricably linked to persistent colonial‐plantation relations, patriarchal social norms and liberal‐capitalist logics.
