]]> Practices of extractive obesity have escalated in the quest for accumulation, amplifying the depletion of our natural resources and promoting the exploitation of labor to the detriment of local economies. Extractive obesity describes the indulgent exploitation of resource extraction by transnational mega-corporations that destroy the life support systems (environment and socio-cultural fabrics) that sustain localities. The African continent supplies most of the world’s natural resources yet cannot promote the wellbeing of its indigenous people. The complex interplay of economic, political, and capitalistic factors at the national/international level leads to the gutting of localities. Government, civil society, communities, and industry must preserve (non)renewable resources to protect their environment and meet the imperatives of responsible sourcing and practices that underpin the UN’s SDGs. I will use place-based liberatory research methods to develop contextual knowledge towards new epistemologies for distributed natural resource systems that create localized community interventions. Building on the insights from African pedagogy, ecology, business, design, and appropriate local technologies as necessary components, I hypothesize three strategic pathways that designers, entrepreneurs, advocates, and academics can apply: (1) pragmatic solutions that prioritize localities’ needs and reduce exploitation in natural resource extraction. (2) Activate opportunities of sustainable models that center “economic” benefits for localities and engage in new ways of connecting the “local” to the “global.”(3) Experiment with alternative transition pathways to post-extractivism through speculative experiential futures.
