Abstract

Abstract Created by women farmers in the late 1980s, the Calmañana herb co‐operative is a significant figure in Uruguay's agroecology movement. Technical assistance grounded in participatory feminist and agroecological perspectives aided the group to organize and establish their production and marketing system. Rather than promote specialization, the process enhanced local strategies and crop diversity that help households increase income and food security. These benefits indicate that agroecology is well suited to improve the position of small farms. Key to their achievement has been a production system focused on the women's interests, which include income diversification and family nutrition, as well as friendship and group solidarity. They have also become valued leaders in networks promoting rural women's agency, agroecology, and food sovereignty. This study confirms the importance of prioritizing gender equality in sustainable agriculture initiatives, not only for social justice but also to recognize women's crucial leadership and knowledge for agroecology.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
