This thesis examines eco-social tensions within communities, exemplified through Central Swiss allotment gardens. It demonstrates that understanding these tensions can significantly enhance agency, resonance, and systemic transformation across diverse contexts, including church parishes and other settings. It centres on creating tools, spaces, and strategies that seamlessly connect humancentred and ecological systems, fostering reflection, dialogue, and collective agency. By reframing conflict as an opportunity for growth, «me : we : us» empowers communities to identify their challenges, envision a shared future, and transition from fragmentation to systemic unity.

Ultimately, this research promotes awareness, strengthens participation, enhances resilience, and ignites shared responsibility in eco-social transformation processes. It invites individuals and communities to navigate complexity with clarity, care, and shared values, planting seeds of lasting change.
