Food stories and the narrative journey to caring communities: the case of Nashira
One-line summary
This study traces how narratives of care around food shift within an intentional community, moving from a model in which food is a privately held commodity that secures family survival, towards a model in which food is a commons that holds a wider community together.

Original abstract
This study traces how narratives of care around food shift within an intentional community, moving from a model in which food is a privately held commodity that secures family survival, towards a model in which food is a commons that holds a wider community together. We take the case of Nashira, a female-led ecovillage in Colombia, and read it through a feminist political ecology and an ethics of care lens, using a narrative change framework that allows us to observe the shift in narratives around food. Through ethnographic observation, 10 life story interviews, and a communal narrative session, we trace the community’s movement from childhood food stories grounded in exclusivity, privatization, and patriarchal hierarchy, towards shared and care-based food narratives grounded in inclusion, reciprocity, and peer-to-peer empowerment. These transformations materialize through everyday acts of care, through collective infrastructures such as the home gardens, the communal pot, the community kitchen, the recycling center, and the solar panels, and through community empowerment based on education. We find that vulnerability within a caring community, functions as an invitation to reciprocity rather than as weakness, that knowledge transmitted between peers is the engine of the narrative shift, that material practice and narrative are mutually constitutive, and that tensions are not obstacles to caring community life but rather generative features of it. The paper contributes to the literature on narratives in sustainability transitions and to feminist political ecology, by showing how care narratives around food can be a vehicle for transformation towards more sustainable systems.
