Acerca de
El objetivo de este estudio es caracterizar la participación de las mujeres en la cadena de valor del totopo en Santa María Xadani, Oaxaca, desde una perspectiva de género y sostenibilidad, en el marco de los sistemas agroalimentarios locales. A través de 69 entrevistas en profundidad realizadas cara a cara con mujeres productoras y vendedoras de totopo, se analizan sus prácticas en los eslabones de cultivo, provisión, transformación y comercialización. Los resultados revelan la importancia de los saberes tradicionales, la organización del trabajo en torno a la familia y el valor sociocultural incorporado en estas prácticas. Sin embargo, persisten desafíos como el acceso limitado a mercados más amplios, el desconocimiento de los consumidores finales y la sobrecarga de trabajo doméstico. El estudio concluye que los sistemas agroalimentarios sostenibles están profundamente arraigados en los conocimientos locales y en la agencia de las mujeres, y que apoyarlos es esencial para preservar el patrimonio alimentario, fortalecer las economías locales y avanzar en los objetivos de la Agenda 2030.
