    This work was based on the need to highlight the contributions of rural women to the sustainability of the territory. Its objective was to analyze the role of rural women in food security in the Sumapaz district of Bogotá D.C., located in the southernmost part of the Capital District of Bogotá, the largest rural area in the capital and one of the largest páramo ecosystems in the world. Women in Sumapaz play an active and functional role in the food security system. Their responsibility extends to every stage of the food chain, from cultivation and procurement to preparation and serving. Their strengths demonstrate the leading role of women in food security, framing and redefining their position as guardians of knowledge and conservation practices in their territory. This highlights the continuity of sustainable practices that stabilize agri-food systems and cultural identity. This research focused on identifying the roles, practices, and contributions of rural women, examining their capabilities, resources, and the barriers that limit their participation. This was achieved through semi-structured interviews with 20 women, which were then analyzed using a qualitative approach. Ultimately, the study demonstrates that strengthening food security in Sumapaz requires politically recognizing the historical, cultural, and productive role of rural women, enabling their access to resources, their participation in territorial decision-making, and respect for their ancestral knowledge.
