Summary:In 2013 the Limonade Women’s Association for the Development of Agricultural and Craft Production (AFLIDEPA) in Haiti unveiled its transformation center and seed bank. Invoking the Black radical konbit tradition, the organization declared its commitment to food sovereignty and called on its fanm djanm (valiant women) to contribute to the development of their home(land). In this article, I examine AFLIDEPA’s formation and operations, and its relationship to the Haitian Platform for Advocacy for an Alternative Development (PAPDA) to appreciate the organization’s pursuit to reconfigure woman, family, and nation in and beyond extractive zones.
