Popular peasant feminism was pioneered by Latin American rural women organized by the Coordinadora Latinoamericana de Organizaciones del Campo (Latin American Coordinator of Rural Organizations) member organization of the international peasant movement La Via Campesina (the Peasant Way-LVC). These organizations have moved forward on gender issues to incorporate a socialist-feminist agenda despite the challenge this agenda faces with regard to their organizational practices and political projects. Latin American peasant, indigenous, and black women have produced oppositional and situated feminist practices and epistemologies that enable them to resignify feminism and address their food sovereignty paradigm from a decolonized feminist perspective, interconnecting the struggle for sovereignty with regard to land and territory as well as the body.

Las mujeres campesinas, indígenas y afrodescendientes latinoamericanas han llevado a cabo prácticas y epistemologías feministas opositoras y situadas que les permiten resignificar el feminismo y abordar el propio paradigma de soberanía alimentaria desde una perspectiva feminista descolonizada, interconectando la lucha por la soberanía con la tierra y el territorio, a la vez que con el cuerpo
