This week we speak to Christian Shearer of the Regen Network. Christian has been working in ecological agriculture for the past 15 years, with much of that time spent working with farmers in Southeast Asia. As a co-founder of Terra Genesis International, he spent the past five years working with leading natural products brands, helping them understand how to invest into their existing supply systems to encourage them toward more regenerative practices. Christian is pouring his life into Regen Network because the tools being built will have a profound influence on the acceleration of the adoption of regenerative agriculture around the world. We chatted about regenerative farming, the role of technology and ideas on solving the burning problem in Northern Thailand.

SUBSCRIBE: WWW.EARTHREPAIRRADIO.COM This episode looks at a new economic system being developed using cryptocurrency to promote regenerative agricultural practices. Gregory Landua first guides the listener through a "Cryptocurrency and Blockchain 101" for all of those unfamiliar with these new technologies. (for those listeners who are really familiar, you can skip to the 24 minute mark). He then explains how his new project Regen Network is building a blockchain and cryptocurrency that is based on the monitoring of the effects of regenerative agriculture. The result would be a new economic force on the planet that is rooted in the regeneration of planetary ecosystems and agricultural lands. This is all pretty mind blowing, but listen carefully for the hour and a quarter and you will be introduced to a vision for an entirely different economic system who's value is based off of restoring soil, water, forests, and oceans.

Gregory has studied marine and terrestrial ecology and evolutionary biology in the Galapagos Islands, translated for Amazonian rainforest guides, fought wildfires in the wilderness of Alaska, lived in established ecovillages, founded a successful work-live cooperative, and studied the nuances of ecology and ethics. Gregory has B.S. in Environmental Science and Ethics from Oregon State University, and a M.Sc in Regenerative Entrepreneurship and Design from Gaia University. Gregory embraces the practical aspects of regenerative agriculture design by being a tropical agroforestry farm owner and manager, and working to assist farms and communities in a variety of climate zones. Now, as co-founder of Regen Network, Gregory is working to link economic value to ecological regeneration. Regen Network is a blockchain driven transparency and smart contracting platform designed to facilitate the verification of ecological state and coordinate multi-stakeholder groups to achieve ecological regeneration through smart-ecological contracts.
What if we could develop a currency backed by the living health of ecosystems? A sort of ‘life currency’ with a robust verification system that would incentivize practices that promote ecological health? What if we could use technology to regain the capacity to understand the consequences of our day-to-day decisions and act for the health of planet Earth? And what would it take to build this infrastructure—a kind of Subway to Regeneration? Gregory Landua is the Co-Founder and CEO of Regen Network, a community of actors working to create a balance sheet for Earth. By improving our understanding of ecosystems and enabling rewards for verified positive changes, the organization seeks to catalyze the regeneration of the earth’s ecosystems. Gregory also serves as the CEO of Terra Genesis International, a pioneer in the shift toward regenerative agriculture. An international regenerative design consultancy, TGI works to provide solutions that regenerate soil, increase biodiversity and improve the bottom line for farmers and ranchers. Gregory is the co-author of Regenerative Enterprise: Optimizing for Multi-Capital Abundance. Today, Gregory joins Ross, Christophe, and Paul to explain how a financial instrument can be backed by ecological health and the important role of decentralization in establishing a blockchain system we can trust. Gregory speaks to the aim of the Regen Network in helping humans regain the capacity to relate to landscapes in a regenerative way. He offers insight around the organization’s work in developing high-quality verification of ecological outcomes, facilitating interoperability between blockchains, and designing a consortium-based governance model. Listen in to understand how Regen Network is working to create additional revenue streams for farmers in the realms of quality data and carbon sequestration.

Ethan Soloviev will be one of the speakers at PV3 in March 2016.Learn more about PV3 at permaculturevoices.com/pv3. In today's show I'm joined by Ethan Roland Soloviev. Ethan is an international expert on sustainable agriculture, permaculture, and eco-social entrepreneurship, and as co-founder of Terra Genesis International he consults on these topics for individuals, organizations and corporations internationally. In our conversation we'll utilize Ethan's experience to explore this concept of what is regeneration. But don't worry it's not all theory, and there is some useable and applicable information in here. As you will find out Ethan view's regeneration as a process. One that's always trying to improve. And for many of us that's essential what our lives are. An ongoing process where we try to improve the web of all things that is us. It's a process that involves a lot of trial and error, successes and failures, and like a lot of you, and me, Ethan is someone who has said yes to a lot of things in his life and tried a lot of things. And he is now hitting his strive and settling into one of his business where he feels that he can make the biggest impact. And ironically it's a business that works with other business. how he came to that conclusions is interesting. Because he used something called nodal analysis to help refine down his direction. It's an interesting concept and on that I hadn't heard about before. Stay tuned to find out more about that in this one... Learn more at permaculturevoices.com/ethan.
