Ecofeminism and food activism in transformative travel as a tool for change
研究了生态女性主义和食物行动主义如何在旅行中推动社会和环境变革,通过支持本地经济和女性主导企业,但面临偏见和资金限制等挑战。
This study investigates the influence of ecofeminism and food activism as agents of transformative change in the context of travel. Poststructuralist feminist theories guided the application of qualitative methodologies. The results demonstrate that incorporating ecofeminist principles into travel contexts disrupts conventional tourism frameworks and fosters significant social and environmental transformation through mindful consumption, support of local economies, and collaboration with women-led enterprises. Challenges such as societal prejudices, greenwashing, and financial constraints impede widespread adoption. This study presents a framework that connects ecofeminism and food activism in the context of regenerative and sustainable tourism, emphasising their joint ability to address issues of environmental conservation, social justice, and ethical consumption.
