I have so much gratitude for everyone who supported us on this journey. I'm optimistic about the regenerative future we’re building together and excited for the opportunities and collaborations that lie ahead. This is not an end, but the beginning of a new chapter 💚

Great article. @ReCommon_Land is really doing hard work the right way in the land protocols space.
New Blog Post is out! > Adaptive Bioregional Governance < Adaptive Bioregional Governance is a unified framework for establishing bioregions around the world. It resolves the tension between scientifically defined bioregions and culturally defined bioregions by creating a flexible, adaptive model that incorporates both. When we observe nature, we see natural complexity—a network of nested relationships and dynamics that exist in a fractal structure. Certain patterns repeat from one landscape to the next and express themselves uniquely in any given place. By acknowledging these varying relationships and incorporating them into a scalable model, we can establish a governance framework that accurately fits into any ‘place’ around the world. Adaptive Bioregional Governance can serve as a common lexicon for the bioregional movement and a foundation for systemic action. recommon.land/blog/adaptive-…

Halophyte agriculture is one of the highest leverage points for transforming food systems and coastal economies globally. Way more research and capital should be pouring into this.

Our co-founder @arcorren is speaking at the Transformative Impact Summit (@trnsfrmtv) in NYC this weekend! His talk is called "Building Bioregional Commons: Governance & Impact Mapping." In "Building Bioregional Commons: Governance and Impact Mapping," Alex Corren of ReCommon delves into the intersection of governance and technology for developing regenerative communities. The session will introduce impact mapping as a vital tool for visualizing and managing bioregional initiatives, highlighting real-world applications and lessons learned. Alex will share how adaptive governance frameworks can empower community, protect ecological systems, and promote long-term resilience. This talk is essential for those interested in regenerative land stewardship and sustainable development. Hope to see you there! 🌎

Our team just returned from a bioregional initiative gathering in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. For nine days, we learned from and collaborated with indigenous Arhuaco leaders and amazing humans from other organizations. Such a potent journey! Now, time to integrate. 🙏

This is so true, and web3 public goods funding still feels far from replacing that need. With Web3 funding like QF, the "loudest person in the room / twitter" still wins. It needs to evolve from an unknown amount of funds every couple months that are dependent on shilling, to something more sustainable that a business can rely on. Also, when we zoom out, web3 is still super early. So for the success of nonprofit / public goods funding to rely on web3 use cases, or to have most of the funds go towards groups with larger web3 communities, ends up eliminating this pathway as a viable funding option for most organizations. I'm not exactly sure what the answer looks like, and am aware that these reflections are just with things 'as is'... really glad that giga-brains like you @omniharmonic are working on this!!
The fact that non-profits have full time positions for grant-writing and reporting indicates that there’s something fundamentally broken with philanthropy. I believe #web3 public goods funding is where we are radically inventing what it means to fund, track, and value impact.

Thanks for the spotlight, @AtlantisDAO1 😊 For those just tuning in... it's not too late to support our project on @Giveth! We build systems & tools for regenerative, place-based projects - to support the emergence of a distributed network of resilient bioregional communities. 🌎 giveth.io/project/recommon

Another day, another spotlight! @ReCommon_Land supports the development of resilient, place-based communities. They are working towards acquiring land, creating permaculture master plans, and leasing the land for regenerative projects while ensuring it remains community-owned. If the idea of a global network of regenerative bioregional economies and place-based communities built on ecological design principles and resilient systems sounds good to you, Recommon is the project to support!

Everyone sees Barcelona's city blocks and says they are great. But no city official will allow it built in their own city? Everyone loves the high density low-rise traditional alleys of Seoul, Peking, Kanazawa, Kyoto, etc. Yet no city in Japan or China or Korea will create something similar? Every tourist in the world dreams of visiting Stone Town, with its narrow alleys and vernacular massive stone homes, yet not a single municipality or NGO will encourage anywhere in Africa to build something similar? The most filmed city blocks in the world can be found in NYC's West Village. Yet no municipal official in the US will suggest to build something similar again? It is almost like these people aren't doing the jobs we expect them to be doing.

If, hypothetically😉, @todd_x_y & I did a guest season on the Green Pill Podcast about bioregionalism, who are the bioregionalists you'd like to see us interview? @SamanthaPower_ @cognitivepolicy @_newcubes_ @gregory_landua @arcorren @sheriherndon @CascadiaDept @cognazor @owocki

"Man, if only there was a way we could build towns and cities out of renewable and recyclable materials that didn't cause any GHG emissions and didn't require AC in any climate...." "Well actually...." "And oh man, what if we made it so it didn't mandate commuting or cars?!"
