Degrowth and ecological resilience
How is economic growth entwined with the social, environmental and financial turmoil of the past few decades? How can we have a stable and prosperous economy that does not grow—let alone one that shrinks to a sustainable level relative to existing planetary boundaries?
The degrowth movement offers a radical critique and an alternative vision that draws from a range of unorthodox intellectual and philosophical traditions, including political ecology, ecological economics and post-development. It confronts us with our own biases concerning growth, limits, money, well-being and so on.
Degrowth introduction and Ecological resilience
In this second session, we will have a look at how ‘modern’ agriculture disrupts the ecological resilience of our planet and search for viable alternatives.
