We live in a world that is increasingly turbulent, uncertain, innovative and full of ambiguity. How do large institutional and industrial actors in the energy sector successfully plan in such an environment? How do they navigate this complexity? How do they frame sustainability?

Vortrag – 23.04.2019: How can agroecological transitions increase the resilience of rural areas?

ES can be a tool to steer and facilitate agroecological transitions, in combination with other theoretical and methodological approaches, and practical tools they hold the promise to increase the resilience of rural areas.
