This week, Economics for Rebels host Alexandra Köves interviews Victoria Reyes-Garcia about the need for diverse indigenous and local knowledge in the stewardship of ecological systems.
Achieving planetary sustainability cannot be achieved using the same practices and reasoning that has induced the problems in the first place. Diverse indigenous and local knowledge has proven to be much better steward to local ecological systems than the globalised culture that drives current mainstream economic and political decisions and is currently at the forefront of protection struggles. Our guest today, Victoria Reyes-Garcia explains why this is the case, how this knowledge differs and what can be done to promote its inclusion into collective decision-making processes.
