الوصف:The article presents a reflection on the gender gap in access to land in Costa Rica, through the study of the main public policies of the agricultural sector directed towards women. From the perspective of feminist economics, the study seeks to highlight the importance of land tenure, use and control for rural women. Based on analysis of statistical data and discursive elements, it is stated that from 1950 to 1990 women were included subordinately to the agricultural sector, mainly from their role as mothers and wives. Subsequently, within the framework of the sustainable development approach promoted since the 1990s, women have taken a leading role in public policy. However, it is argued that their participation has expanded in spaces that have been gradually dismantled by the productive reconversion model. In conclusion, the article highlights some of the most pressing challenges to effectively reconcile the ideals posed by the discourse of sustainable development and women's access to land.
