马拉维的这项研究考察了小农能否有效利用生态农业来解决粮食主权问题。我们以代谢裂缝的概念为基础，认为修复这一裂缝包括社会关系。农业生态方法可以是重要的战略，但需要劳动和知识密集型，需要解决家庭内外的权力动态，以解决粮食主权问题。案例研究包括对话、实验和横向学习的参与式方法，以促进变革。我们认为，交叉性和参与性实践的女权主义概念是动员农业生态学建立粮食主权和改造社会关系的核心。
This Malawi study examines whether agroecology can be effectively used by smallholders to address food sovereignty. We build on the concept of the metabolic rift, arguing that repairing this rift includes social relations. Agroecological methods can be important strategies, but are labour and knowledge intensive, and require addressing power dynamics within and beyond households in order to address food sovereignty. The case study included participatory methods of dialogue, experimentation and horizontal learning to foster change. We argue that feminist concepts of intersectionality and participatory praxis are central to mobilizing agroecology to build food sovereignty and work to transform social relations.
