Mujeres del bosque nativo: producción, identidad y cuidado en la ruralidad argentina
April 24, 2026

Rural and indigenous women in Argentina's native forests generate income through diverse activities like animal husbandry, agroecology, beekeeping, and rural tourism, while conserving biodiversity. Their deep connection to the land, a source of life and identity, drives sustainable practices.

Collectively organized, they strengthen autonomy and prevent deforestation. Technical support and gender-sensitive public policies are crucial to empower them and solidify their vital role in forest management.
