The women's collective organization that emerges mainly in non-urban territories in Latin America have mobilized in the last two decades a set of actions, reflections and political-epistemic proposals at the interface between agroecology and feminism

The Hungarian Recovery and Resilience Plan ignores the EU expectations concerning gender mainstreaming and the effects that the measures could have on gender equality are not mentioned.
