Abstract: This study explores the convergence between ecological economics and ecofeminism, analyzing how their shared principles can contribute to building a sustainable and inclusive economic model. A qualitative approach based on the PRISMA method is employed to conduct a systematic literature review in academic databases such as Scopus and Web of Science. Thematic analysis identifies emerging categories, including shared principles and divergences between both frameworks. Coincidences are found in the critique of unlimited economic growth, the recognition of unpaid labor, and gender equity in natural resource management. However, they diverge in methodology: while ecological economics emphasizes the quantification of environmental impacts, ecofeminism focuses on the deconstruction of patriarchal and extractivist structures. The integration of both perspectives strengthens the development of economic policies that consider environmental sustainability and social justice, promoting post-capitalist and post-extractivist models. The findings can guide public policy strategies that incorporate gender equity and the recognition of care work in economic and environmental planning.
