Ethnobiology has long recognized that human and plant relationships produce particular ways of living. The discipline is increasingly asking how these lifeworlds reflect create sociopolitical formations—from low-impact hunting–gathering or slash-and-burn agriculture, to colonial plantations runaway settlements, contemporary agribusiness alternative biodynamic agriculture. In this special issue, we propose the concept plant-anthropo-genesis highlight in which plants people are co-produced. We explore entanglements between over time, drawing on wide-ranging ethnographic historical research offer new critical insights into plant–human co-produce one another—from processes racialization plantation societies aspirational interventions gardeners, farmers, scientists aiming for redemption from chemical industrial collection centers acts reciprocal botanical labor through a variety contexts perspectives crop fields, including: monocrops reshape socioecological life; ritual dimensions interactions; regenerative alternatives re-imagine relations agro-ecological possibilities amid weight extractivist agriculture plant-anthropo-worlds.
