Biocultural Economy

The Other Others

A wanjau (collective sensemaking yarn) with JMB, Tyson and Josh from IKSLab, tying together 3 years of work in regenerative finance design. How can bioregional, relational economies and currencies be established without being backed by potential extractive activity on the land, or real estate as capital, or the ponzi scheme vacuums of crypto? How can these commons be governed and enjoyed collectively? How can units of value be created to support economies of care and regen knowledge production? What value propositions can work here, and what mechanisms of measurement could be responsive to authentic signals from the land? And how can Indigenous knowledge be embedded safety, with equity kept by communities providing this expertise?
