Learning and co-producing bio-knowledge in times of crisis, transformations, climate change, and water scarcityThis article addresses the issue of new strategies and modalities of producing collective knowledge, intercommunicating experiences of traditional local knowledge linked to the understanding and adaptation of the regulations of natural systems with knowledge and technologies from the findings produced by the scientific and academic spheres. The central objective is to seek interdependencies, alliances, and transformative potentials among diverse knowledges and understandings, which contribute to finding sustainable, democratic, equitable, and quality-of-life solutions to the multi-crisis that affects modern society and planet Earth. The article also warns of the tensions and contradictory trends that generally accompany crises and hinder society’s progress in a democratic sense, with equity, social inclusion, better quality of life and protection of nature. Advancing along paths of socio-ecological sustainability is a great epochal challenge.
