Anthropology and the nature-society-development nexus

Abstract:
This chapter follows the tribulations of a socio-ecological project at the periphery of one of the world’s megalopolises, São Paulo. It investigates the circumstances under which the agroecologists involved in such projects create meaningful worlds through the cultivation of ecological awareness. I show how sustainability comes to figure as a central value in the agroecological movement, which is widespread throughout Latin America.
