A Regenerative Business
Regenerative design is where the output of a system improves the health and resiliency of that system over time. This is achieved by positive feedback loops linked to production that function to strengthen that system. The characteristics of a regenerative system are having a functional diversity of inter-connected elements in ways that mirror the communities of plants and animals in ecosystems.
Nature is the ultimate practitioner of developing complex self-sustaining systems over time - that not move ecosystems towards complex stable states - but also impact the atmosphere (air), hydrosphere (water), lithosphere (land) of the entire Earth in even change these elements in ways that benefit life. In such processes life has Terra-formed Earth into more climatically and atmospherically stable states in the process of increasing in complexity and diversity over time.
In the recent history of humans we have continued this trend - utilising our immagination to create ever more complex systems - which when modelled upon the complex, inter-connected diversity of natural systems will result in the advancement of increasingly more stable and life enriching states. Like other phases of life on Earth - the impact of systems we have created has had a global impact - resulting in an extended period of climatic stability and warming which has enabled human civilisations to flourish.
However our approach to the design of systems has been flawed and while civilisation may have flourished - other living systems on Earth have degraded and we need to re-examine our design philosophy.
