This study aims to understand how rural women experience the expansion of oil palm crops, particularly in the Colombian Llanos region. The research will delve into the work women performed in the plantations and on their own farms. The study also wants to address how women interact with their environment (their practices, what they know about nature, how they use nature) and if that has changed because of the expansion of oil palm. Finally, the research will also explore how the government is helping those women and their families to achieve their dreams. This research is important because there is very little information about rural women living in this region in Colombia. My research will contribute to know more about their stories and highlight their important contribution to the country.
