Land Use Change and Regenerative Practices

Ever-extending and changing land-use practices including growing urbanization are a key factor of the human impact on the Earth system. How can an understanding of the long-term co-evolutionary interaction between land-use changes and Earth system dynamics inform future regenerative practices?

Chemical industries play a major, yet in technology studies still underestimated role in the establishment of the technosphere and for the course of history in the Anthropocene. Artificial fertilizers, ammunition, plastics, fuels, pharmaceuticals are drivers for paradigmatic Anthropocene dynamics in all spheres of the Earth- and socio-technical systems. (Great Acceleration Observatory). Via their industrial technicality, a large set of molecules need to be addresses as part of the technosphere. It is the ongoing „transformation of chemistry“ towards sustainable process structures, that calls for an understanding of the full scope of industrial chemicals for the actual historical condition. more
