Who we are
A small charity with a big vision
A world in which all beings live in partnership with the web of life for all to thrive. We work towards a world where ecosystems are restored, money systems serve the wellbeing of all and human relation systems cultivate partnerships rather than domination.
Join our movement
Our mission is to enable organisations and individuals to create economic systems based on partnerships that nurture the web of life.
Regenerative System
It is time for a regenerative system
Healthy ecosystems
A healthy, regenerative ecosystem thrives on biodiversity, resilience, and symbiotic relationships, restoring and replenishing resources over time. Extractive ecosystems deplete resources and degrade biodiversity without restoring balance.
Partnerships
We enable collaboration and partnerships based on the values of dignity, fairness and compassion. We move away from competition, domination and growth to maximise profits for a few.
New money systems
Money systems that move towards polyculture and away from monoculture. A caring economy includes a network of decentralised, pluralistic, and participatory economies, as well as institutions and policies that support these values.
Care Economy
Together we transform in a system of care
People care for the earth as part of the ecosystem
Recognising our place in nature, it’s time to mend this broken connection. Through transparent systems of shared knowledge and wisdom, we enable societies to restore nature. To work together for healthy soils, healthy oceans, and food security, ensuring a regenerative planet for future generations.
Wellbeing as the purpose of economic systems
We support markets that respect and account for all types of labour and caring activities. Systems of production, resource allocation and distribution of goods and services are regenerative and distributive rather than growth-based or debt-based, enabling everyone to live decently and reach their full potential.
Nature nurtured as the source of wealth
An economy that supports markets that fully respect and account for ecosystem functioning results in systems of production, resource allocation and distribution of goods and services that promote sustainability and respect the ecological ceiling, rather than growth for its own sake.
When everything connects
A world of care and regenerative food systems
What will happen
In a world of care, we are able to care for ourselves, the community and the ecosystem in a balanced way. We nurture, sustain and regenerate relationships between people and the planet.
Regenerative food systems emphasise sustainable agricultural and aquacultural practices. They prioritise soil and ocean health, biodiversity and water conservation to enhance food security for current and future generations. They contribute to the stability, resilience, and health of agricultural ecosystems and communities, creating a positive environmental impact while bringing nutritious food to our plates.
Cross-pollination
How our partners transform systems
Our Partners
Knowledge, experience and action are everywhere. Relatively small, well-focused series of actions can transform systems in significant, measurable and enduring ways.
Our partners – thought leaders and their organisations – have a leverage potential to enable systemic change. With their work they are shining a bright light on a new direction for our society. They are entrepreneurial people who are putting their ambition and passion towards creating a ‘world that works for all’. Even though some initiatives are small or hyperlocal, they are crucial examples that are needed in our society to show that a better future is possible.
