Regenerative Value Systems – Model(s) illustrating flows and transformations of value within production systems
0 likes1,359 views
This document discusses regenerative value systems, beginning with nature's systems. It notes how natural systems like the nitrogen cycle demonstrate enlightened self-interest. It then discusses how modern value chains have shifted away from more embedded, small-scale economies to prioritize one big market. Finally, it proposes principles for regenerative value systems, such as agroforestry that integrates the five kingdoms and builds healthy soil, as well as considering things like a region's hydrology, geology, demography, and more through a holistic systems approach.

So you see, urea is waste for us and wasting it loses
valuable water and energy. But if we and other
animals did not pee and breathed out nitrogen
instead, there might be fewer plants and later we
would be hungry. How on Earth did we evolve to be
so altruistic and have such enlightened self interest?
Perhaps there is wisdom in the workings of Gaia and
the way she interprets the selfish gene.”

Modern Value Chains
“Value can be defined in different ways, but at its heart it is production of new goods and services.” [2]
[2] Mazzucato, Mariana (2018) ‘The Value of Everything: Making and Taking in the Global Economy.’ Allen Lane, Penguin Random House Group, UK
“How these outputs are
produced (production),
…how they are shared across the
economy (distribution)…
…and what is done with the
earnings that are created from
their production (reinvestment)…
are key questions in defining economic value.” [2] bold and coloured type added](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/6-snow-final-190321154515/85/Regenerative-Value-Systems-Model-s-illustrating-flows-and-transformations-of-value-within-production-systems-6-320.jpg)
