Abstract
I try to find ways to mitigate the crisis announced by the Anthropocene with the best participation of all and with the maximum possible effectiveness and safety, gathering human resources, knowledge and materials to face adversities, returning safe from the entropy of nature and the cultural human being itself. . Thus, the greatest relevance is to contribute to transdisciplinary studies of the Anthropocene. Since its publication by Crutzen and Stoermer (2000), the term Anthropocene has aroused general curiosity about the concern of researchers with the future of the planet, and this was cited by Oldfield et al. (2013), when stating that researchers treated this concept with some distance, but considered it part of its underlying, regardless of whether or not they accepted the formal geological recognition proposed by the conceptual model. The authors highlighted the need for a truly transdisciplinary journal (2013, p.5) about the concept and we believe that this should happen because there are a number of major global problems (disruptions) that affect the credibility of the Anthropocene model. Such problems need transdisciplinary help for the complex solutions they demand. It is intended to discuss the disruptions contained in the securitization process, which has consequences in several areas of science and in practical life. It starts from the principle that the disruptions are installed and must be verified transversally with approaches that break with methodological and epistemological traditions, through the strangeness in the observation of critical phenomena. We start from the principle that there is generalized systemic insecurity caused by human failures that led the development model to be definitively exhausted for peripheral or late capitalist countries and for the traditional production cycle. We are going through a (trans) moment of failure of the development model to a model of resilience (therefore, of rupture). There is the alternative of the global circular economy through which non-industrialized and not economically included countries could subsist or advance in eco-development (ED) goals. Another worrying aspect is that the production and consumption of food has been and is relevant in any society, not only because of its close relationship with people's health, but also because of its important social, economic and environmental repercussions. In a context of population growth and environmental degradation, where the FAO / UN has identified hunger as a global policy problem that must be addressed urgently, food production faces a multitude of demands, in some cases paradoxically opposed. The project intends to cover a series of studies on the Anthropocene, interconnected by the transdisciplinary perspective and seeks, as far as possible, to bring innovative and mitigating solutions to the problems pointed out by the model. It seeks to intertwine several scientific disciplines in the proposal. This is the reason for commenting on a probable link between the thesis project and all lines of research at CREA s2i. Thus, the greatest relevance is to contribute to transdisciplinary studies of the Anthropocene.
