What the paper says

This study explores agroecological innovation in Agroecosystem Living Labs (ALL) from a biocultural perspective and through the Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach. The research focuses on two cases of Voisin Rational Grazing (VRG) implementation in Boyacá, Colombia, analyzing how the co-creation of knowledge in ALL is enriched by the interaction between human and non-human actors. The biocultural perspective is used to broaden the understanding of the actors involved, revealing that non-human components are not merely passive resources but active participants in the innovation processes. Additionally, the relevance of PAR as a methodological approach that must go hand in hand with the biocultural perspective is highlighted, allowing for an adaptive and context-specific innovation process that reinforces the sustainability and autonomy of agroecological communities. The findings suggest that expanding the understanding of ALL through the integration of the biocultural perspective and PAR not only enhances the characterization of these labs but also offers a more holistic and robust framework for agroecological transition in the Global South.
