Florescer nas frestas: continuidades entre agroecologia e design

Abstract

Design, as a knowledge and materiality production field, has in many ways contributed for a global environmental colapse condition that frightened the humanity future possibilities. On the other hand, being open to reformulation, it also can take part as a collaborator in local habitabilities regeneration processes, redirected to a more sensible e life careful practice. This inquiry proposes the pursue to understand possibles webs between agroecology and design as response-ability for this systemic crisis context. Therefor, as of Design Anthropology field, multispecies associations dynamics in agroforestry systems were investigated, inside the land reform MST settlement context, located in Ribeirão Preto - SP. Weaving dialogues among design, ecology and anthropology, sought to glimpse collaborative processes between humans and no humans in the aim to get these crossings potentialities for design field reinvention in direction of the care of life. Observing how life forms bloom and intertwine in the Anthropocene ruins, design becomes an inquiry optic such as an apprentice of these multi specific relations that, attached to agroecology, can contribute in habitabilities regenerative processes which simultaneously produce food, biodiversity, forests and culture.
