Research

We’ve encountered many ineffective transformation approaches and have tried numerous unsuccessful methods ourselves. Through this sobering learning process, we’ve learned to separate the wheat from the chaff and focus on the essential conditions for a socio-ecological transformation according to our understanding.

Our preliminary conclusion, and the foundation of our current approach, is to intensely focus on three essential principles for transformation that must be realized to achieve significant progress. These principles, as we currently understand them, are the “products” our community needs to bring to the sustainability market.

However, those three foundational principles require, to be effective contributions, significant research efforts and further conceptual designing to form a valuable contribution to the discussion.
