This conquer expresses as the continuous substitution of production models from peasant self-sustainable to agro-industrial and/or extractive, resulting in the territorial homogenization of production. This substitution, associated to different conceptions of dev...

In combination, this threatens the means of livelihood for future generations and is, therefore, at variance with a sustainable development.

Abstract: The international feminist movement has developed a critique of the dominant economic model that has many aspects in common with the criticism made by the movement for degrowth. In general terms we can say that in both movements it's possible to find a critique of the centrality of productive performance and an emphasis on breeding conditions and community regeneration. Either propose...
