    This talk presents findings from the research project ‘Producing alternative green futures: Exploring interconnections between green transitions and socioeconomic and political organisation’. The presentation provides analytical insights to how alternative communities in India, South Africa, and Denmark subtly influence green transitions. Drawing on ethnographic studies of eco‑villages, farmer collectives, and anti‑extractivist organizing, it highlights imagination, futures, and the slow, everyday ways transformative ideas take shape.

    Jacob Rasmussen is Associate Professor in the Department of Social Sciences and Business at Roskilde University. He researches urban politics, youth, conflict, and sustainability in Sub‑Saharan Africa.
