Lorena Perdomo

ORA Latin America 2025 Fellow

Usme, Bogotá, Colombia

Lorena Perdomo is a nutritionist from the National University of Colombia and holds a master’s in Social Anthropology from FLACSO. From 2022 to 2024, she served as delegate for food and nutrition security policy in the rural–urban district of Usme, Bogotá. She led the Local Food and Nutrition Security Committee, coordinating institutional actions with grassroots organizations across rural, peri-urban, and urban zones—centering food sovereignty and environmental sustainability.

In 2023, she collaborated with OBSSAN at the National University of Colombia to offer a diploma course titled Sustentabilidad Alimentaria Para la Acción Climática. This initiative brought together rural women farmers and urban communities from Usme, Sumapaz, and Cabrera, strengthening grassroots ties and fostering spaces of convergence.

Through her ORA project, Lorena empowers women smallholder farmers in Usme who have organized to promote agroecology and defend their territory. Her project strengthens community-led agroecological production by supporting sustainable farm models rooted in food sovereignty and environmental stewardship. In a region forgotten under the perception that Bogotá is entirely urban, Lorena’s work brings visibility, resilience, and leadership to rural communities.
