New actors in organic agriculture transfer their concern for the environment, animals and people into successful farm strategies: 'Caring Agriculture' in Austria.

Thinking planetary means taking the Earth seriously as a planet: from the Earth's core to interplanetary space, from the nanosecond to deep time, from elementary particles to the Earth's mass. If the focus is on interactions between our home planet and ourselves, a planetary knowledge paradigm takes shape. It goes hand in hand with the relationalisation of human existence in the universe and the relativisation of the anthropocentric view. Thus, questions of habitability and hospitality come to the fore and the creation of new knowledge always means the creation of new worlds. This book addresses all sciences concerned with the universe and human beings.

The Sustainable Development Goals of the UN 2030 Agenda: implementing a global idea regionally.

Can friendship as a political practice offer enough traction to imagine a borderless world? The startling contemporary rise in aggressive ethno-nationalism and end-times ecological crises have the same root: an inability to be together with humans as much as the natural world. Matt Hern and Am Johal suggest that porous renditions of being-together animated by friendship can spark a repoliticization of the political to surpass the foreclosures of the state, speak to a freedom of movement, and find renovated relationships with the more-than-human. This volume includes interviews with Jean-Luc Nancy, Leela Gandhi and Leanne Simpson.

Urbane Gemeinschaftsgärten sind aus der Stadt nicht mehr wegzudenken. Aus vereinzelten Pionierprojekten entstand im Laufe der vergangenen zwei Jahrzehnte ein Netzwerk von rund 1000 Initiativen. Als erdverbundene Orte haben sie das Potenzial, Stadt wie Gesellschaft grundlegend zu verändern. Doch was ist das Besondere an urbanen Gärten und warum sind sie unverzichtbar? Gemeinsam mit Autor*innen aus Wissenschaft, Forschung und Aktivismus beleuchten wir die unterschiedlichen Dimensionen der neuen urbanen Gartenbewegung - und loten ihre Rolle bei der Mitgestaltung einer menschen- und naturgerechten Stadt der Zukunft aus.
