Beyond Productivity: Reimagining Futures of Agriculture and Bioeconomy
ROAPE.net has published a report on a recent workshop "Beyond Productivity: Reimagining Futures of Agriculture and Bioeconomy". The workshop brought together scholars, agricultural practitioners, and activists from the degrowth and the critical agrarian studies communities to discuss visions of agriculture which do not rely on growing productivity. The debates addressed the following questions, among others: What would make an agriculture without productivity growth attractive to small producers? Do indigenous communities and the Degrowth movement have an own conception of productivity or an own attitude to it? How could decolonized conceptions of productivity capture more space in public debates and policy circles?
