Ringvorlesung Nachhaltigkeit: Kulturlandschaften und Landwirtschaftskultur – Landwirt:innen inmitten der sozial-ökologischen Transformation

In the organizer's words:

Tractors on the streets, heated debates in the media and a deep sense of division: agriculture is at the center of current social and political cultural struggles like almost no other sector. But beyond rigid black-and-white thinking and media pigeonholing, how do those affected themselves actually view the necessary socio-ecological transformation?

In this lecture, Luana Schwarz (Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research / Max Planck Institute for Geoanthropology) breaks down the usual clichés. She takes us into the reality of farmers' lives and sheds light on the deeper structures behind the change: How are mental models and paradigms in agriculture changing? Which political and cultural barriers are blocking progress and which processes can support farmers in actively shaping a sustainable future?

The lecture is part of the lecture series on sustainability
