dc.description.abstract | The article contributes to sustainability transition research by indicating the significance
of transformative grassroots innovations in the context of social work research. We introduce the
integrative concept of ecosocial innovation in order to demonstrate how grassroots innovations
can successfully combine social, ecological and economic aspects of a sustainability transition.
By ecosocial innovations, we refer to social innovations with a strong ecological orientation
(e.g., recycling workshops, urban gardening, participatory unemployment projects and new local
economies). The data consists of 50 examples of ecosocial innovations in Finland, Italy, Germany,
Belgium and the UK. We investigate how ecosocial innovations interconnect ecological, economic
and social goals and study the factors of their integrative crucial capacity. On the basis of qualitative
data analysis and thematic categorisation of ecosocial innovations, we identify five integrative
practices: diversity of activities, successful networking, addressing new livelihood, focus on food and
explicit conceptual work on sustainability. Very often these integrative practices emerge as pragmatic
solutions to local needs. For the participants, the ecosocial innovations can be relevant sources for new
livelihood and wellbeing beyond the conventional labour market. Foremost, ecosocial innovations
are valuable as forerunners for sustainability transition in practice. | fi |
