This article provides evidence of the food system challenges and structural barriers faced by women farmers and food producers in the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States. The aim of the piece is to add to critical literatures on political economy, development and food systems in the Majority World via recognizing the political agency of rural grassroots women in the Caribbean. To do so, we focus on the role that social reproduction has in the lives of working Caribbean women who are engaged in agricultural production. The analysis we offer was generated via a mix-method project that included 111 farmers and agro-processors from Grenada, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines. We deliberately centre the perspectives of Afrodescendant rural women. Our study reveals the main barriers faced by women in agriculture are lack of access to land, concessions and capital; non-gender responsive Agricultural Extension Services; an absence of national and sectorial gender policies; and ongoing dismissals of the time and effort that goes into unwaged socially reproductive labour. In illustrating these realities, we cast light on how the barriers faced by women food producers in the OECS are inextricably linked to persistent colonial-plantation relations, patriarchal social norms and liberal-capitalist logics.

加勒比地区农业妇女的粮食系统和社会再生产现实:来自格林纳达、圣卢西亚、圣文森特和格林纳丁斯的证据
本文提供了东加勒比国家组织女性农民和粮食生产者面临的粮食系统挑战和结构性障碍的证据。这篇文章的目的是通过承认加勒比地区农村草根妇女的政治能动性,为多数世界的政治经济、发展和粮食系统的批判性文献增色。为此,我们关注社会再生产在从事农业生产的加勒比妇女的生活中所发挥的作用。我们提供的分析是通过一个混合方法项目生成的,该项目包括来自格林纳达、圣卢西亚、圣文森特和格林纳丁斯的 111 位农民和农业加工商。我们有意将非洲后裔农村妇女的观点置于中心位置。我们的研究表明,妇女在农业中面临的主要障碍是缺乏获得土地、特许权和资本的机会;非性别敏感的农业推广服务;缺乏国家和部门性别政策;以及对无报酬的社会再生产劳动所花费的时间和精力的持续解雇。在说明这些现实时,我们阐明了东欧国家/地区女性食品生产者面临的障碍如何与持久的殖民种植园关系、父权社会规范和自由资本主义逻辑密不可分。
