If you're on Netflix, really enjoyed this documentary on fungi last night. @PaulStamets, among many other experts, explores the west's recent advances in understanding mushrooms and myecilial networks with so many applications to modern environmental issues.

It begs further exploration of #bioremediation #EcologicalEconomics as well as cultural trauma healing.

I’m always wary of attempts to value nature (what is the value of a whale?), but this is interesting stuff, worth a read.

“On the basis of more than 50,000 scientific publications, policy documents and Indigenous and local knowledge sources, IPBES assessed knowledge on nature’s diverse values and valuation methods to gain insights into their role in policymaking and fuller integration into decisions.”

Just published in @Nature with @unaipasku et al: paper based on @ipbes #ValuesAssessment where we underline the need to shift social & institutional values away from emphasis on GDP growth & material accumulation to community-based, sustainability aligned values. Plus check out the fab new IPBES values typology!

“…this commodification of nature in the name of conservation seems problematic to me. These solutions are part of the same economic and societal framework that put us in the ecological and social crisis we are facing.” #conservation #ecologicaleconomics

Yes!

Join the US Society for Ecological Economics on Fri, 7/28 noon EDT to recognize the legacy of Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen & his contribution to #EcologicalEconomics.
Georgescu-Roegen was the protégé of Joseph Schumpeter, who taught that evolutionary change and 'creative destruction' are inherent to capitalism.

I borrowed @ktrebeck / Jeremy Williams idea of Arrival, from #EcologicalEconomics, and applied it to #research. Does it fit?

The Society for Experimental Biology 2023 conference has uploaded its videos, incl. an evening session at the RSE, with FRSE Profs Mat Williams https://twitter.com/csarural_env, Linda Lawton https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linda_Lawton, and me.

If you have an #SEB2023 conference login, I start at 49 minutes ➡️ https://underline.io/events/403/sessions/15102/lecture/79857-rse-evening-event.
If not, TL:DR 👇 1/4

This is a bigger deal than most people realise. It's not a coincidence that our wee and poo contain the exact right ingredients for growing human food... because of course they do!

And before anyone asks, it's entirely possible to take advantage of this fact at scale. There's a substantial agricultural biosolids industry starting to form in Queensland.

If we cycle the same matter through the farm/people system, and use agricultural wastes to make up shortfalls, we can drastically reduce the pressure on soils and create a self-sustaining system. The only extra requirements are solar energy, captured by plants growing on farms, and energy for machinery, which could theoretically be supplied by the sun as well.

The above is the agricultural aspect of the Circular Economy - the kind of economy that we will need in order to live in balance with the rest of the living world.

RT @EE4ALL: Let's hope this is a turning point for the mainstreaming of #EcologicalEconomics ideas brewing for decades to promote wellbeing within planetary boundaries @EUparliament & beyond! Best of luck to them! @ISEEORG

Instead of #SustainableDevelopmentGoals, #KaitlinKish #StephenQulley say #EcologicalLivelihoodGoals.

"informal processes of exchange, familial care, place-bound community, mutual aid, and reciprocation –​which we designate as _Livelihood_"

"the [economics] mainstream’s essentialist reduction of all value to preference and its exclusion of millennia of thinking about the diversity of human values is exceptional in social science."

Fantastic interview with (my rad bloke) Karl Fitzgerald talking economic reform and Community Land Trusts through the lens of permaculture.

Morag's podcast is a goodie. I recommend a listen.

Thanks US Society for #EcologicalEconomics for sponsoring the session at the Eastern Economics Association meeting. I presented the benefits and costs of green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) in Detroit, a collaborative project with The Nature Conservancy - Michigan, WMEAC, American Rivers, and GVSU.
