I had another reply but it disappeared. Your bio says, "studying different pathways for decoupling economic development from environmental destruction". I submit that instead of "decoupling economic development from environmental destruction" we should be "integrating economic systems toward improvement of Nature's systems". It seems like semantics, but it's not. The key to understanding humanity's problems lies in contributing more to Nature than we take, and this requires humanity to set aside our selfishness collectively and intentionally, not just pitting everyone against each other and 'hoping' it all works out in the end (The Invisible Hand).

To this end, Regenerative Agriculture sets the example. Humans have the unique ability to learn and understand the invisible webs of natural systems, and instead of seeking to exploit them, we should be seeking to increase those systems for their own sake: helping Nature find stable balance points between species, systems and risks.

Up until now, humans have only sought to take as much as possible without collapse (sometimes not even being concerned with collapse).
