Today we’re joined by co-founder and co-Chief Regeneration Officer of Regen Network, Gregory Landua. Regen Network is a land ecological commons management platform and the backbone for a new approach to ecosystem service markets based on verified ecological state.   Their community of actors engage with ecological regeneration, ecological monitoring, verification, distributed computing and technology development, centered around Regen Ledger. Network members track specific changes of land, oceans and watersheds. By improving our understanding of ecosystems and enabling rewards for verified positive changes, Regen Network catalyses the regeneration of the earth's ecosystems.   Gregory embraces the practical aspects of regenerative agriculture design by being a tropical agroforestry farm owner and manager, and for many years worked to assist farms and communities in a variety of climate zones as a permaculture designer. He 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.   In this lively conversation, we explore the impact of making information available to all. Tune in to learn more about ecological state claims and assets, proof of work, ‘moneyness’, and the relationship between transparency and accessibility in blockchain.   Remember that you can always find transcripts and key highlights of the episode on our Medium publication: https://platformdesigntoolkit.com/podcast-S2E17-Gregory-Landua    To find out more about Gregory’s work:   > Website: https://www.regen.network/  > LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregory-landua-4953b29/  > Join the Regen Network Discord channel: https://discord.gg/HedKw7etJt > Key papers:  https://regen-network.gitlab.io/whitepaper/WhitePaper.pdf  https://regen-network.gitlab.io/whitepaper/Economics.pdf    Other references and mentions:   > Ep. 10 Indy Johar - Redrawing the Human Development thesis for the 21st Century: https://stories.platformdesigntoolkit.com/redrawing-the-human-development-thesis-for-the-21st-century-with-indy-johar-5d45d2770170  > RadicalxChange: https://www.radicalxchange.org/ > S2 Ep. 13 Nora Bateson – Trans-contextual Organizing: Shifting Perceptions: https://stories.platformdesigntoolkit.com/trans-contextual-organizing-shifting-perceptions-with-nora-bateson-5a2f233b9d23  > S2 Ep. 5 Dave Snowden – Building Scalable Organizations that can Deal with Uncertainty: https://stories.platformdesigntoolkit.com/with-dave-snowden-88ef04b7fadb  > Yuk Hui, The Question Concerning Technology in China: An Essay in Cosmotechnics, 2016: https://www.amazon.com/Question-Concerning-Technology-China-Cosmotechnics/dp/0995455007  Find out more about the show and the research at Boundaryless at www.platformdesigntoolkit.com/podcast   Thanks for the ad-hoc music to Liosound / Walter Mobilio.
