Her history of engagement in research and social projects related to technology, popular education, gender and environmental issues, specifically with Global South social movements, networks, NGOs and peasant and indigenous communities in Latin America is complemented by a political science degree from the Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA), and a master’s degree in strategies and technologies for development from Universidad Complutense Madrid.  In addition to her role at SFF, she facilitates and accompanies women environmental defenders in the Gran Chaco Argentino region in their campaigns and is a member of the Gender Committee of Argentina’s Land National Engagement Strategy. Agustina is also a trainer at the Latin American School for Climate Action. She is motivated by her belief in the potential and power of organised, intergenerational, intercultural South Feminists working in solidarity to tackle capitalism and gain and maintain liberation that is sustainable and in harmony with nature.
