During years we have looked for the sacred graal: the ultimate definition of degrowth. We only find many perspectives, leading to many definitions of degrowth. These different definitions translate the wealth of perspectives related to the idea of degrowth!
Definitions of degrowth
The variety of concern makes a single degrowth definition difficult: as each actor of degrowth has a different entry points to degrowth, there are naturally different starts for degrowth definitions, but it does not prevent the inclusion of the different concerns. 
Here we overview some of the main perspectives:
  • Bioeconomics:  A collective decision to produce and consume less locally and globally…  (less exploitation of  natural resources & people) initiated by  activists  in the 2000’s.
  • Anti-utilitarian:  A slogan, a “missile word”, meaning to  repoliticize social and  environmental debates, creating dissidence to the present economic   representations and demystifying growth, sustainable  development and  progress.
  • A political, economic, and social movement based on ecological economics and anticonsumerist and anticapitalist ideas.

  • Democratic: degrowth challenges the hegemony of growth and calls for a democratically led redistributive downscaling of production and consumption in industrialized countries as a means to achieve environmental sustainability, social justice and well being” (Demaria et al, 2013).  

A comprehensive but less concrete definition of degrowth would look as follows:

Degrowth  is a space of dialog where different  ideals – democracy, justice,  agro-ecology,  bioeconomy, conviviality, good life – meet  each other in  order to constitute a sort of  practical and theoretical utopia.

On Novembre 14 2014, we visited the farm "Nos Pilifs". The visit starts with a movie. Then we made a tour of the farm where two team managers guided us around the six sectors of the farm and where we met the workers who are all people with disabilities. At 13 pm, we had a veggie lunch at the tavern of the farm.

Here is my translation in English of the movie you can see on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axGwVh4ybDc.

Please, if you can improve the translation, do it ! The managers of Nos Pilifs will be very glad to have a good one.
