      <Abstract>Ecofeminism examines issues at the intersections of gender and environment. It equates the subordination of women with the exploitation of nature. This study is premised on secondary literature. Utilizing the lenses of Chaone Mallory’s (2013) encounters between ecofeminism, food, and place, it examines such entanglements from an Indian perspective. Drawing on studies conducted in the Indian context, it brings forth the promises and challenges afforded by ecofeminist representations of environmental issues. It acknowledges the role of women in local communities as repositories of indigenous knowledge systems and living embodiments of sustainable environmental practices. It calls forth the need to strike at the roots of their oppression to solicit their enhanced participation in environmental conservation. Running through the oeuvre of this analysis is a passionate plea to reflexively engage with local knowledge systems, which are often dismissed as irrational and unscientific by dominant paradigms of development.</Abstract>
