Local change processes: Agroecology and the Energy Transition

What does resilience look like in practice, and what might it teach us about navigating the future? In this episode, conversations move from an agroecology farm in southern Sweden to mining regions in Northern Chile and Northern Sweden. Michael Reck shares insights from Alnarp’s Agroecology Farm (https://www.alnarpsfarm.se/the-project), where food production, community, and education come together to build forms of local resilience in a changing political and climatic landscape. Ingrid Altamirano reflects on her research into the extraction of critical raw materials for the energy transition (and introduces energy additions), examining how labour, care, and everyday life are reproduced in regions shaped by global demand for minerals. Together, these perspectives explore how local practices and global transitions may shape more resilient and equitable pathways forward.
