ABSTRACT This special issue highlights grassroots and place-based modalities of learning. It contributes to pluriversal ways of thinking and living emanating from diverse contexts and place-based and culturally specific ways of knowing, being and doing. It is written against the backdrop of global crises and it highlights practices and possibilities emerging from diverse grassroots contexts as a way forward for human and Earthkin collective survival. Contributions in the special issue all speak to one or more of three key themes, threads that are woven in and across the collection. These are climate change adaptations, community food economies, and Indigenous language and communication tools that support grassroots living.
