An inquiry and collaboration for ecocentric futures.
At Ecocentric Futures, we invite a shift in how research, leadership, policy, and community are imagined – towards futures that serve both people and the planet. With humility and through shared journeys of learning we support researchers, practitioners and professionals to explore and enact ecocentric ways of being and doing.
Get in touch with us today to find out how we could support you.
The challenges facing contemporary societies are deeply interconnected and cannot be resolved through business as usual. They require transformation.
Yet most organisations, institutions, and partnerships are simply not set up to support change of this kind, particularly at the scale and over the timeframes that transformation demands.
This guide addresses that gap. It draws on five years of action research supporting food system transformation across Yorkshire and is complemented by insights from initiatives in health, higher education, and physical activity.
The guide offers a practical, integrated approach to cohering transformation at scale.
About our initiative
Ecocentric Futures is a collective of researchers and practitioners dedicated to exploring how ecocentric consciousness, deeper connections with nature, knowledge systems, and future-oriented design can reshape the ways we live, learn, and lead.
Based in the Department of Environment and Geography at the University of York, we bring together curious individuals working to reimagine human systems in alignment with the living world. We believe transformation begins with recognising our interdependence with the ecosystems around us and designing our institutions, policies, and practices to reflect this relationship.
Through our research, tools, and storytelling, Ecocentric Futures seeks to support those leading change across sectors to cultivate regenerative patterns and ecocentric ways of being and doing.
Our members represent a variety of affiliated organisations and initiatives, listed below.
