The Agroecology can help peasant women, as well as peasants as a whole, to build greater levels of autonomy based on knowledge, allowing these relationships of dependence to be reduced, and opening space for women to conquer their power. In this context, this article aims to address the reflection on the connection between agroecology and the work carried out by women in family farming and its contribution to enhancing the experiences of agroecological transition, analyzing the importance of productive and reproductive work and the challenges faced by women.
