With often dramatic modifications of the market, political, social and production systems, the task of knowing and learning present an ever growing part of every-day life. If consumption-production systems are to support resilient communities, they have to be designed in a manner that allows constant innovation and adaptation while accepting that mistakes will be made along the way. As a result, there is a need for constant identification of ongoing knowledge processes, understanding ways of productive engagement with various "knowledge holders”, testing and evaluating impacts of resulting innovations. This presents demands for new competencies and for educational systems that facilitate such competencies.
