Descripción:

The project seeks to continue the process started with the Rural Women's Network in the northern zone in the development of project B6063: Mobilization of rural women in the fight for the recovery of land in two communities in Chiles, Alajuela. At first, the different expressions of defense of the land were analyzed together with the women of the Network, especially after the passage of Hurricane Otto in 2016, which, among other things, generated greater pressure for the land in face of the unlimited expansion of the pineapple agribusiness in the area.

For this project, the aim is to continue with this thematic line, but expanding the project's coverage area to various communities in Los Chiles and Upala, also increasing the topic of analysis, that is, analyzing the fight for the defense of land, Creole seeds and water in an area where these resources are central to sustaining life, and in a national context that threatens to privatize their use.
