◄ Episode Description
In this episode of Type One Planet, we propose a new incentive structure for redesigning our civilization towards long-term sustainability and the preservation of natural ecosystems. Will Szal, a farmer and regenerative business expert, discusses the intersection of alternative economics and regenerative agriculture, and how blockchain technology can be used to promote governance and sovereignty among farmers. He also explains the concept of ecological credits and how regenerative practices can earn credits that can be sold in voluntary carbon markets. The focus is on compensating those who engage in regenerative practices, creating a sustainable approach that benefits ecological assets while maintaining sovereignty and transparency through blockchain technology. Ultimately, Will argues that redesigning our civilization to prioritize sustainability and the preservation of natural ecosystems is crucial for the long-term health of both the environment and human society - and can be incentivized by cryptocurrency that derives its value from the health of our natural world.
