Organic 3.0 Future of Organic Movement
•
1 like•1,051 views
This document discusses the future of the organic movement. It argues that Organic 3.0 will focus on participation and de-commodifying food rather than consumerism. Examples of participatory models include community-produced vineyards, CSAs where membership involves work, and urban gardening cooperatives. While Organic 1.0 focused on holism and Organic 2.0 on consumerism, Organic 3.0 will prioritize participation. The document also notes challenges like maintaining livelihoods and accountability in more participatory systems.

New Democratic Governance - Reed & Keech ~~ Urban Agriculture
This document discusses a study analyzing urban agriculture and food activism in Bristol, England during its designation as the European Green Capital in 2015. It finds that while grassroots food networks used urban agriculture to express citizenship, they had limited success influencing institutional change. The study analyzed social media related to a community farm, local media coverage, and interviews. It found the food movement in Bristol was ignored by mainstream media. While activists were proud of their local efforts, they were frustrated that larger changes were difficult due to limited resources and policy constraints. The researchers question how effective the city's Food Policy Council structure was at incorporating grassroots perspectives.
Voting habit of the urban farming community 2
Urban farmers in Eugene, Oregon were studied to understand their political views. There are three types of urban farming: personal backyard plots, commercial farms, and donation-based farms. Through interviews, many urban farmers were found to support measures around sustainability, urban development, and access to food. They vote due to a sense of privilege and desire to enact small changes. Overall, urban farming means building community and teaching sustainability while addressing social issues through food donation.
Voting habits of the urban farming community
The document summarizes research on the voting habits and political views of urban farmers in Eugene-Springfield, Oregon. Key findings include:
1) Urban farming encompasses personal backyard plots, commercial farms, and donation-based gardens. Interviews with farmers revealed their priorities around sustainability, community-building, and food access.
2) Urban farmers support political measures around sustainability, urban agriculture, and adequate SNAP funding. They are motivated to vote due to a sense of privilege and desire to enact small changes.
3) Representatives from multiple farms emphasized their goals of bettering the community through examples of sustainable living and engaging more people in food production.
Just in time chances for a holistic approach for land and water governance
1. The document discusses the Cisadane Watershed Multistakeholders Forum in Indonesia and RMI's involvement in promoting a holistic approach to watershed management in the area.
2. It describes RMI's projects on river and biodiversity conservation in the watershed since 2009 and their role in facilitating the watershed forum since 2011.
3. A key benefit of the forum and holistic approach is that it allows different stakeholders to have input, acknowledges their different needs, and leads to more comprehensive management plans that address issues like land rights and education.

1) The organization Swadhina worked to empower women in Jharkhand, India through increased access to land and water resources. They formed women's committees to oversee activities and identify key issues of water, land rights, and women's positions.
2) To address water challenges, they constructed irrigation boxes and desilted tanks to improve water storage. They encouraged sustainable farming practices. For land, they reclaimed unused land and introduced new crop varieties. They gave women possession certificates for resources to establish land rights.
3) These interventions improved food security, economic conditions, and women's leadership roles. Women gained confidence through skills training and decision-making power over resources.

Orlando Vega, Daniel Chugcho, Stalin Suarez, and Bryan Pozo discuss canine overpopulation in the city of "Baños de Agua Santa". The number of homeless dogs on the streets has increased in recent years and is worrying residents and tourists. Abandoning pets without considering the consequences is a major cause of the problem. Massive sterilizations could help reduce the number of unwanted dogs but will not solve the issue alone. Educating society about responsible pet ownership through adoption, care, and talks is seen as the best long term solution.
Rural Urban Nature Sharing
Fred Yang was born in a small village near the river in the distant hills of Huaihua, Hunan. After University in Hunan, Fred left his home province for the promises of adventure and development in Shanghai. He enjoyed some success as a high school English teacher for eleven years. Later he worked in large western firms in Property Management, but in his success Fred was haunted by one question - "Why am I doing this?" In 2008, propelled by this question, Fred and his wife decided to move back to his hometown to work the land as an organic farmer. After the first year, Fred was convinced that this was was his calling.
In this presentation Fred talks about his 'Rainbow of Hope' project that connects Shanghai families to rural villages. through regular deliveries of organic produce from the countryside, allowing the people of both locals to share the land, resources, culture, and food.
NJFuture Redevelopment Forum 2015 Moore
CityFoodTM is a sustainable urban agriculture business that identifies unused industrial real estate to develop into hydroponic and aquaponic farming facilities. These facilities will grow organic vegetables and fish to sell locally while also creating living-wage jobs. CityFoodTM aims to provide environmental, social, and economic benefits to communities by increasing access to fresh, local food and fostering new green businesses through business incubation services. They work with strategic partners to consult on urban farm design, construction, alternative energy, composting, and more.

The document presents a vision statement for a sustainable community called Grapevine Wash. It outlines goals for Grapevine Wash such as being environmentally friendly by reducing energy/water consumption and utilizing renewable resources. It also aims to be a walkable community with neighborhoods within 5 minutes of centers and to use social networking to connect residents.
單車烏托邦
首先，我們每天都會看到很多單車騎士，通勤族、菜籃族、公路車騎士、單速車文青，他們在我們的眼中可能就是不同單車類型的消費者，可是Aldred卻試圖以「單車公民權」（cycle citizenship）這概念把「消費政治化」（P.3），為什麼？
然後，順著這思路，Wickman為什麼認為不同的交通模式能開啟不同類型的公共空間、社會互動，從而連結不同的公民權（P.8）？請試著以這思路重讀Montgomery所提到波哥大BRT與路面設計的例子。
接著，Aldred從環境意識、自我照顧、扎根地方、社區連結四個面向討論劍橋這地方的單車騎士自我想像什麼才是一個好的單車騎士。那，你會怎麼看「好騎士，四原則」？台灣的好騎士法則又有哪些？
最後，Aldred認為一個單車友善、緊湊佈局的都市能讓單車騎士隨騎隨停隨行己意地將都市空間區分成不同的使用模式，但對一個不友善單車的城市來說，這改變如何可能？各位的提案可以做出什麼協助？從不「消費者公民權」（consumer citizenship）或「接近都市的權力」（right to the city）的概念來看，使用者在你們的專案中，是否有什麼被賦權（empower）的可能？

The document discusses the debate around sacrificing animals during religious festivals in India. It notes that critics argue the large amounts of money spent could be better used for community development programs. However, supporters note that the meat consumption during these festivals makes up a small portion of total meat consumption in India. The document also discusses the illegal smuggling of cows from India to Bangladesh, the health and noise issues caused by some festivals, and calls for rethinking traditions and their impacts.

Human Capitalism/Curitiba
The document discusses the city of Curitiba, Brazil and its transformation into a model of sustainable urban development. It outlines the key challenges Curitiba faced related to poverty, unemployment, disease, and pollution. The goals of the city's development included education, health, welfare, safety, participation, integrity, environmental protection, and community spirit. Tangible projects like the Rua Quinze de novembro pedestrian mall helped change the city's dynamic by promoting infrastructure, commerce, and green spaces. The new leader Jaime Lerner created policies relying on participation and consensus that emphasized children, long-term perspectives, public involvement, and entrepreneurial solutions from citizens.
Give A 'Shit'!
The document discusses the issue of inadequate sanitation in poorer communities and its health impacts. It describes how a lack of access to clean water and toilets exposes people to diseases from bacteria, viruses, and parasites in human waste, shortening their lifespans. This is due to factors like sewage pollution and inability to afford toilets. The document then profiles social entrepreneur Jack Sim, founder of the World Toilet Organization, who has brought global awareness to this issue and established initiatives to provide sanitation education and technologies to communities in need.
USID GURUKUL
The document discusses several problems with India's current agricultural practices and rural development approaches. Chemical fertilizers and pesticides have rendered soil infertile and caused health issues, while corporate agribusiness is promoting dependency. Many farmers have committed suicide due to financial distress. Proposed solutions include establishing "edu-tainment centers" in rural-urban interface areas to facilitate knowledge sharing, an incentive system to encourage farmer participation, and learning initiatives like call centers, knowledge sharing networks, and documenting traditional techniques. The overall approach aims to address systemic issues undermining rural ecosystems and development.
Btca
An organization called BTCA works with communities near the Great Himalayan National Park to promote conservation and generate sustainable incomes. It forms women's savings groups to encourage saving, provides training, and helps market agricultural products, handicrafts, and ecotourism. Over time, the groups have grown to involve over 500 women, generated over $160,000 in annual income, and elected some members to local leadership roles while protecting the local environment. However, challenges remain in expanding production and markets while overcoming social barriers.
Grownyc Work
Monthly orientations educate New Yorkers about recycling laws and offer training and pizza to 20 attendees. Stop'N'Swaps allow locals to exchange used items and recruit 15 volunteers to run these operations across the 5 boroughs. Community outreach involves collaborating with other departments to engage locals about environmental stewardship through activities. Local organizations are worked with to promote recycling at community events requiring 20+ volunteers recruited through social media and partner organizations scheduled at least a month in advance.
Social enterprise, gender and the Syria conflict
What has been the role of social enterprise in the MENA region, in creating jobs for people affected by the Syria conflict?
This presentation, by Angela Solomon, examines some aspects of social entrepreneurship in (mainly) Lebanon and Jordan, from a gender perspective. Five qualitative case studies, and a review of three types of enabling organisations, highlight some ‘bright spots’ in integrating a business-minded but values-driven approach to job creation.
The presentation acknowledges that a lack of reliable data prevents us from drawing quantitative conclusions at this stage. It argues (a) for better standard-setting and data capture of social enterprise, and (b) for social enterprises and governments/donors/humanitarian actors to make themselves more relevant to each other in order to enhance the contribution of social enterprise to the Syria refugee response.
This slide show was originally delivered by Angela Solomon at the annual conference of the British Society for Middle Eastern Studies (BRISMES), on 6 July 2017.
IUPP Overview
The document discusses the Institute for Urban Public Policy and its goal of connecting research, policy, and practice to empower people stuck in generational poverty. It argues that most social programs operate under a "charity assumption" that people cannot help themselves, which has a negative impact and fails to empower people. Instead, work should transition to economic development and the assumption that people can liberate themselves when empowered. The policy agenda is to move from social services to economic development by providing real economic opportunities to achieve self-sufficiency and grow the local economy.

The farming project dubbed Kilimo Bora Kwa kina Mama Project (Food crop cultivation for Women) was designed to provide an alternative source of income for the widows in Homa-bay district far from the fish mongering business that is rampant in the area due to its proximity to the lake Victoria, which is largely responsible for the high HIV/AIDS prevalence rates amongst the women, most of whom are widows in the district.

Food miles measure the distance food travels from production to consumer, with some produce traveling thousands of miles. Urban gardening allows growing food in small spaces like balconies or community gardens in cities. Companies help people set up gardens in yards or on rooftops or patios. The benefits of urban gardening include health, economic, community, and environmental advantages from locally grown organic food.
Where have all the citizens gone?
Dr Simon Duffy gave this talk in September 2018 to the National Social Care Conference in Cardiff. He argues that our concept of citizenship is confused, but the potential for creating communities of citizenship is enormous.

Stop bullying
Bullying involves repeated physical, verbal, or psychological attacks against someone who is perceived as weaker. Bullying can have long-lasting negative effects on both the victim and bully. Signs that a child is being bullied include unexplained injuries, lost belongings, changes in eating or sleeping habits, and declining school performance or lack of interest in school. To prevent bullying, parents should communicate with their children, teach respect for others, and schools should create anti-bullying rules and a safe environment for all students.

The role of voluntary approaches in a regulatory environment
The role of voluntary approaches in a regulatory environmentCountryside and Community Research Institute
The document discusses the role of voluntary approaches in regulation. It notes that regulations are not always effective due to assumptions, lack of knowledge, and implementation issues. A case study on nitrate regulations found large differences between predicted costs/benefits and actual outcomes. Voluntary approaches have strengths like partnership and flexibility but also weaknesses like variable commitment and implementation. Effective voluntary approaches require clear objectives, decision processes, measuring outcomes, and recording activities. The regulatory environment involves evidence, predictions, values and implementation at multiple levels. The state should optimize well-being, set objectives, measure outcomes, and provide guidance while voluntary approaches address issues flexibly.Farmer Confidence in Badger Vaccination - Bovine TB

Cod Recovery Plan-Management Options June '12 PresentationCountryside and Community Research Institute
This document summarizes fishermen's responses to different management options for recovering North Sea cod stocks. It describes 4 options: 1) continuing the current management plan; 2) mixed fishery catch quotas reduced across species; 3) individual vessel catch quotas set at single-species levels; 4) an effort-based system with fishing credits allocated to each vessel. Fishermen expressed concerns about quota levels and reducing catches under all options. Option 3 was seen as the least preferred since a single exceeded quota would require vessels to stop fishing. Enforcement was viewed as easiest under the current system but effects on costs, discards and adapting to controls varied between options.Viewers also liked (20)

Globalisation of insight_B Vorley
This document discusses the challenges facing small-scale farmers in the face of globalization and rapid rural change. It notes that small farmers face issues like food security, poverty reduction, climate change adaptation, and volatile markets. The document proposes that the Knowledge Programme will provide a more informed perspective on small farmers through co-learning across different stakeholders and regions. It acknowledges there are conflicting views on how small farmers should respond to globalization, such as joining the labor market or claiming rights to protect small-scale farming. The majority of small farmers participate in the informal sector and are not formally organized, though some have found success in cooperatives and engaging with certain policies. The document calls on businesses, policymakers, and services to support small farmers
Sustainable Business
This document provides an outline and overview of a lecture on sustainable business and consumption. It discusses two main approaches to sustainable consumption: 1) consuming more efficiently through green consumerism and 2) consuming less through sufficiency and alternative models. For business, it examines drivers for sustainable action, including upstream supply chain initiatives, downstream consumer information strategies, and company-level approaches integrating sustainability into core operations and new business models like B Corps. Examples include McDonald's sustainable sourcing, Walmart's healthier options, and sharing economy platforms. Debate centers on potential and limitations of different approaches.
The role of business in the transformation to a post-growth, post-consumer so...
Based on concepts from ELEVEN by Paul Hanley, business can be seen as both an active and passive participant in a world at risk due to consumerism and its consequences, and economic planning based on an ethos of never-ending growth. In his book ELEVEN, Paul Hanley uses multiple sources to present a clear and logical description of the genesis of the current paradigm and where it is inexorably leading. Science informs us that the current economic order is unsustainable. With the world population projected to rise another 50% to 11 billion by 2100, current economic and environmental issues will deepen and turn catastrophic. As the notion that there is a spiritual aspect to reality fades into anachronism, the sustainability crisis deepens.
The core proposal of the book and the learnshop is that the solution to the seemingly insurmountable and catastrophic issues facing the world today can be found through a comprehensive public education approach that leads to profound ethical-social-ecological transformation. Such a program can be spearheaded by responsible business and their activities in the community —for example, supporting neighbourhood grass roots initiatives. Business can play play an enabling role in this process. It can reorient advertisements that suggest how consumer goods should not define us and symbolise who we are, and instead promote environmental and moral values that result in a sustainable future. Instead of a focus on profits only, business can support communities to transform, and demonstrate by example that “avarice and self-interest (need not) prevail at the expense of the common good.” Ultimately, in order to realistically address world issues, businesses will need to live a new morality, contribute to a reduction in excessive consumption, and renounce the paradigm of continuous economic growth. A sustainable, values-based reality needs to be made visible through education, particularly moral education, starting with children and youth.
What new insights or learning do you hope your learnshop will provoke?
To investigate the present environmental and economic issues so that our awareness is improved, and that we can clearly explain why a change in paradigm is essential. The learnshop will seek to gain insight and understanding about the issues facing the world and the role of business. Through discussion and sharing of ideas we hope brainstorm what could and should be done to address these issues – both the possible and the desirable. Which values/virtues are present and absent in the current paradigm? How to select a plan of action in the face of confusing messages and “false news.” Which virtues or values, if implemented, have the greatest potential for affecting constructive change? Finally what are the barriers to change that need to be overcome. What are the main themes that can be effectively addressed by the business community and what methods and materials are needed to address them?

Generating Social Innovation
The document discusses social innovation through four main dimensions:
1) The social economy and relationships between different sectors like the public, private, and household.
2) Catalysts and drivers of social innovation like innovators, collaboratives, and intermediaries.
3) The process of social innovation including design, development, scaling, and diffusion.
4) Transformative social innovations like social movements around health, education, and the environment.
Reimagine activism -training
The document discusses the Detox campaign by Greenpeace East Asia, which aims to eliminate toxic chemicals from the fashion industry. It notes that in China and Indonesia, water pollution comes largely from the textile industry. The campaign has gotten commitments from 10% of the global fashion industry to go toxic-free. However, it also notes that simply focusing on symptoms, rather than root causes, and playing by existing political and business rules may limit the campaign's impact. It suggests activism needs reimagining to tackle systemic problems through a coherent vision and strategic tools like leveraging values, frames, and feedback loops in the system.
Connecting Communities with Food-La Ruche Qui Dit Oui
1) La Ruche qui Dit Oui is a network in France that connects local farmers directly with consumers. It is designed to help communities access local food while supporting farmers and regenerating social connections.
2) The network uses a website where farmers can post their products for consumers to order each week. A local leader organizes delivery of the products to collection points.
3) The model provides benefits for farmers, consumers, and local leaders. Farmers receive a fair price and more stable income. Consumers access high quality local food and build relationships with producers. Leaders earn income while strengthening their communities.

Oer 7. fair trade and responsible consumption
This document discusses fair trade and responsible consumption. It defines fair trade as an alternative trading system that aims to help disadvantaged communities through ethical business practices. Fair trade criteria include fair pricing, transparency, and social/environmental standards. Responsible consumption considers environmental and social impacts. It can take the form of solidarity consumption through supporting fair trade, ethical consumption by making informed choices, and ecological consumption that reduces environmental impacts. The document provides examples of fair trade products and describes the fair trade supply chain.
Marketing environment
The document discusses the internal and external marketing environments. The micro-environment includes factors close to the company like suppliers, competitors, and customers. The macro-environment includes broader forces like demographics, technology, economy, and government that influence marketing. Understanding both environments is important for marketers to build relationships and stay aware of trends. Market research helps companies gather information on these environments.

The document discusses a methodology for encouraging sustainable land use by making agricultural production more profitable. It proposes targeting ethical consumers in affluent societies with sustainably produced exports from developing countries. This creates a total value chain that improves incomes and livelihoods at each stage of production and distribution. An example from China demonstrates organizing farmers into cooperatives to produce and market organic green tea of a consistent high quality to Europe. The methodology is then proposed for application in Laos through a "Brand Lao" program featuring traditional products marketed under a brand emphasizing the country's natural and artisanal qualities. Research found ethical consumers receptive to the concept and willing to pay more for authentic products that support sustainable livelihoods. The program would link
Responsible Business
This document discusses the history and concepts of sustainable development and responsible business. It traces the major international agreements around sustainable development from 1972 to the present. It argues that sustainability is an abstract concept that is difficult to define, while responsibility refers to the actions companies take to achieve sustainability. The document also discusses opportunities and challenges for responsible tourism businesses, including authentic experiences, social media, and environmental issues. It frames responsible business as going beyond legal compliance to be transparent and accountable.
Cross sector Co-operation:You Know You Want To, But Why?
This document summarizes a presentation given at the 2012 National Worker Co-operative Conference about cross-sector cooperation among cooperatives. The presentation discusses the potential benefits of cross-sector collaboration, challenges that have prevented it, and strategies for taking advantage of the UN's designation of 2012 as the International Year of Cooperatives to strengthen cooperation and make progress toward a cooperative decade. Specific examples of successful cross-sector cooperation from Mondragon and Emilia Romagna are provided. The presentation concludes with a call for cooperatives to transition from focusing on individual cooperatives to prioritizing cooperation across sectors to build a stronger cooperative movement.
Corporate Environment Management Strategies
This document discusses concepts related to corporate environmental management strategies. It covers topics like strategic environmental management, sustainable industrial development, the triple bottom line concept, cleaner technologies, life cycle analysis, and green marketing. For sustainable industrial development, it emphasizes the importance of factors like population stabilization, integrated land use planning, and use of non-polluting renewable energies. The triple bottom line concept involves considering social, environmental and economic factors. Life cycle analysis assesses environmental impacts across a product's entire lifecycle. Green marketing involves marketing environmentally-friendly products and emphasizing environmental aspects in promotion.
Bio 105 Chapter 23
This chapter discusses economics, the environment, and sustainability. It covers the following key points in 3 sentences:
Economic systems depend on natural, human, and manufactured capital. Markets fail to fully account for environmental costs, so governments intervene through various policies. Moving to a more sustainable economy will require shifting subsidies from polluting to green industries, taxing pollution over profits, and creating new green jobs in renewable energy and recycling.
5 Reasons Why We Need A New Perspective on Consumption.
The concept of 'Sustainable Consumption' came from the simple insight about the limits of our ecology to sustain our burgeoning population; as one African elder summarized the meaning of sustainable consumption - 'Enough. for all. forever.'
However, what is enough? Is their a limit to nature's ability to provide and our ability to find newer uses? Are we (humans) really capable of 'controlling' the nature? If we are a part of nature too, what 'should be' the limit to our curiosity?
Questions of ecology and consumption are defining our zeitgeist today. However, before hoping to arrive at the 'holy grail' of sustainability, we need to understand the context of consumption.
Globalization, 24*7 media and technological advances have fundamentally altered the way we consume products, services and information.
In these series of 4 articles, I will look at 4 key perspectives that would drive the sustainable agenda.
Here's the first one. :)
Unep presentation (versión5)
Agroamerica is a palm oil and banana producer committed to sustainable practices like precision agriculture, carbon capture, clean energy, and recycling. These practices improve yields while reducing environmental impacts like water and resource usage. However, the market does not always recognize or incentivize these sustainable efforts. All stakeholders, including businesses, governments, and international organizations, must work together to promote sustainability, develop green economies, and ensure sustainable products receive fair prices.
Consumerism 1
This document discusses consumerism, defined as the social movement seeking to augment consumer rights and power in relation to sellers. It also refers to economic policies prioritizing consumption. The consumerism movement aims to protect and inform consumers through practices like honest advertising and improved safety standards. Factors that aided unethical marketing in India include its vastness, income inequality, illiteracy, and lack of education/information. Reasons for rising consumerism in India include imbalance in supply/demand, low literacy enabling business indifference, lack of competition, and poor public sector monopolies. Remedies involve participation from business, government, and consumers to prevent exploitation through legislation and asserting consumer rights.

Jumping Scales and Producing peripheries.pptx
Sania Dzalbe is a PhD student in economic geography at Umeå University in Sweden who studies how people in rural areas adapt to crisis and adversity. Drawing from her upbringing in rural Latvia, she notes the importance of social reproduction in sustaining rural livelihoods, which often goes overlooked in traditional regional economic analysis. She argues that the concept of resilience is connected to the concept of loss, as during moments of crisis and major restructuring, societies lose not only jobs and industries but also the very mechanisms through which they shape their environment, both physically and socially. Current resilience studies in economic geography tend to disregard the role of social reproduction and the losses experienced by individuals by predominantly focusing on firms and economic production. However, to understand the evolution of rural regions and communities amid various challenges they face, one must recognize that social reproduction cannot be separated from economic and knowledge production processes.

Footage for the associated seminar: https://youtu.be/Z0Hkt7Sf0VA
The talk will focus on the current state of soil governance in Australia, alongside the recently released National Soil Strategy and debate how knowledge exchange on sustainable soil management is progressing. The need to maintain a healthy and functioning soil that is resilient and less vulnerable to climate change and land degradation is an ever-present goal. Yet to achieve this goal requires a critical mass of soil scientists who can effectively undertake research and more importantly people who can communicate such knowledge to farmers so that soil is protected through the use of landscape-appropriate practices. Decades of government de-investment and privatisation have led to a diminished and fragmented workforce that is distant from, rather than part of, the rural community, and farmers are also increasingly isolated with few functional social networks for knowledge exchange. Is it possible to chart a course that can see this decline in expertise and local soil knowledge corrected, and restore to it vitality and legitimacy?Latvian Meadows: Past, Present & Future!
Presentation made to CCRI as part of our seminar series. Footage of seminar: https://youtu.be/tWcArqtqxjI
Latvian meadows are inextricably connected to the Latvian identity. An identity built on the concept of the industrious peasant working their own land, free from the oppression of tyrannical regimes. This cultural association also feeds into the mid-summer festivals as the women weave the flower-filled crowns and people collect herbal teas to ward off illness over the winter. These biodiverse havens are under threat, as they are neglected or replaced with improved grasslands with their higher yields but lower diversity.

The potential for local governance of the rural environment: A case study in ...Countryside and Community Research Institute
Professor Ian Hodge's seminar for the CCRI on 24th October 2022.
There are two emergent movements in the governance of rural land: voluntary and local government initiatives that assess, plan and enhance landscape and biodiversity and a largely separate central government initiative for the development of Environmental Land Management (ELM) schemes as a key element of national agricultural policy. This is developed and implemented by central government with a relatively large budget.
These two movements should be better integrated through the development of a system of Local Environmental Governance Organisations (LEGOs). A LEGO would stand as a ‘trustee’ with a remit to protect and enhance the quality of the local environment in the long term. It can assemble evidence on natural capital, co-ordinate amongst stakeholders and work with them to identify local priorities for nature recovery. It would search for synergies and collaborative partnerships and raise funds to support priority projects. A key point is that a proportion of central government funding should be devolved to LEGOs. This would link the vision being developed locally with the capacity to generate financial incentives for land managers to change land management.
Natural Cambridgeshire as the Local Nature Partnership is developing a number of the attributes of a LEGO. It is engaging with and appears to have support from a broad variety of stakeholders and is energising actions at several different levels. Through a local deliberative process, it can have a much clearer view of local opportunities and priorities than can be possible via central government. Natural Cambridgeshire has begun to raise funds but the likelihood is that this is will be too little, relatively short term and unsystematic. Longer term core funding would give Natural Cambridgeshire the capacity to back up proposals with financial support, potentially matching funding from other sources. It would then need to monitor and audit the implementation of projects and report on expenditure and outcomes. Over time it would adopt an adaptive approach to respond to outcomes and changing threats and opportunities.
National government needs to establish a framework for the development and operation of a system of LEGOs. It would continue to act in support of national standards, both through regulation and investment to meet international commitments, such as for biodiversity and climate change.

Urban Sustainability - Nature-based solutions and ecosystem servicesCountryside and Community Research Institute
Presentation given by Dr Alessio Russ 8th July for CCRI seminar series.
Over the last few decades, the school of thought surrounding the urban ecosystem has increasingly become in vogue among researchers worldwide. Since half of the world’s population lives in cities, urban ecosystem services have become essential to human health and wellbeing. Rapid urban growth has forced sustainable urban developers to rethink important steps by updating and, to some degree, recreating the human–ecosystem service linkage. This talk addresses concepts and metaphors such as nature-based solutions and wellbeing, ecosystem services, nature-based thinking, urban regeneration, urban agriculture, urban-rural interface, rewilding.Planning for the future of onshore wind and solar farm

- 9. – Fritz Schumacher 1971 “Right ideas, in order to become effective, must be brought down and inculcated in this world and the commercial interest must be made into servants of correct ideas. Let us not defend a type of pristine virginity to remain a little esoteric splinter group at a time when the whole world is crying out for precisely the kind of thinking the Soil Association has been engaged in for twenty-five years”
- 10. What broke Organic 2.0? • Didn’t become big enough, fast enough • Suited to the systems of the multiple retailers • Consumer Benefits vs Public Goods • Became ‘cool’, embraced social distinction • Isolated within the environmental movement
- 11. Organic 3.0 IFOAM p:10 “The overall goal of Organic 3.0 is to enable a widespread uptake of truly sustainable farming systems and markets based on organic principles and imbued with a culture of innovation, of progressive improvement towards best practice, of transparent integrity, of inclusive collaboration, of holistic systems, and of true value pricing”
- 12. • Organic 3.0 discussion document uncertain which non-farmers it is addressing • ‘stakeholders’, ‘consumers’, ‘citizens’ • ‘democratize the value chain’ (p.15) • “Consumer demand is not only essential to trigger private sector supply but also government decisions to create policies” • Lacking imagination of the collective of citizens.
- 13. Beyond consumerism • True Cost accounting - already present • Participatory guarantee schemes - at scale • self-provisioning,volunteering, CSAs, and crowd funding - participation. (Agri-social schemes). • Situated values - outside of its context loses all/most of its value.
- 14. Problems • How does anyone make a living? • Mechanisms of trust and accountability? • Stopping it becoming cool?
