Katherine Trebeck | How a 'wellbeing' based economy can save the planet

Katherine Trebeck presented at the RCS Convergence Conference last July and her compelling session there and this interview centres around the economies of the world, their often misguided methods of measurement and indicators of 'success', and introduces the principles of the 'wellbeing economy', focusing on more human and community-centric measures of success and prosperity.

Season Sponsor: 

This season we've teamed up with Highland Beef Pastoral a grass-fed beef supply chain servicing the growing US grass-fed market. 

The Highland Beef program uses an innovative model to change how farmers and customers interact. 

Essentially, this Australian-owned business places cattle on their member graziers’ properties at their expense and provides farmers competitive returns for every kg of beef produced, allowing them to focus on improving their businesses in a capital-free, risk-free environment.
