Yet it can also inform peace\, serving as a mechanism f or (re)building the social fabric. Food offers a lens through which we can explore possibilities for more equitable\, sustainable\, and peaceful fut ures from a creative and interconnected perspective. Drawing from her doct oral dissertation\, Peace\, Agroecology &\; Gastronomy: A Case Study on How Colombia Can Build a Sustainable Future\, this talk examines how ever yday practices of growing\, cooking\, and sharing food reveal cultural\, p olitical\, and economic dimensions relevant to peacebuilding. Through the story of ASOCOMAN —\; the campesino (smallholder farmer) association in Montes de Marí\;a\, Colombia\, she explores the powerful alternativ es that emerge from often-overlooked quotidian spaces with the potential t o advance peace-building and transitional justice agendas. This perspectiv e invites us to shift our gaze toward the horizontal level\, where we inte ract as and with fellow citizens.
