Stay hungry
We sow for the future, every day
“Every man is guilty of all the good he did not do”
~ Voltaire
We can describe karma as the sum of our actions and the consequence of our past intentions. Dharma, on the other hand, is where we want to go, our purpose. The meaning of dharma is “what sustains the cosmos, existence.” Hinduism itself is also called sanatana-dharma, that is, “the eternal law”. The meaning of the Sanskrit root -dhr, from which the term dharma derives, can be rendered as “sustain”, “maintain”, “nourish”; therefore, in full, it represents all that favors and nourishes life. Dharma is the universal norm that underlies the phenomena underlying the cosmic order, the all-pervading quid, the divine intelligence that supports the manifestation in its natural laws – physical, chemical and biological – as well as in relational and ethical principles. The entire Universe is based on a profound interdependence, on the law of donation and participation in life, dāna-dharma. Contributing with one’s share generates social harmony and creates good merits so that even Nature shows itself generous with its offers. It is understood that there is always a focus on giving, on offering a part of one’s food or wealth to others: Life is sustained by food and food is life, and therefore, offering food to others is like giving them life (Mahābhārata 13.63.26).
Seeds represent the heritage and legacy of biodiversity and the most important database of information that guarantees the succession of Life on Earth. They are inextricably linked also to our life, culture and community history. One of our focuses is to share and exchange the seeds of Life, because Nature gives us Life. At the same way, just like seeds, we want to be catalysts for all projects of value for Mother Earth.
A fractal is a structure that is similar at every scale, like a fern, where the shape of the whole plant is similar to the shape of each branch, which is similar to each frond on each branch. An economy at every scale contains processes which take existing resources as inputs and from them, create new resources as outputs. One can speak in such cases about Fractal Economy.
Investing in Nature means investing in your well-being and in your future because you will be able to take care of the people who value and defend biodiversity and soils from erosion, supporting fertility and regeneration so that Nature can flourish and prosper. This will ultimately guarantee a fair return (e.g. no intermediation, lower costs, etc.) but above all more involvement, real joy and satisfaction for everyone.
Therefore you can turn costs into smart investments. Small saving, good and safe returns. Investing in Nature first of all means investing in yourself and people you love. If everyone did, investing in Nature will not means only investing in soil and water conservation and regeneration but, also and above all, in human regeneration.
“Cheap food is an illusion, there is no cheap food, the true cost of food you will pay it anyway somewhere. If it is not paid to the cashier, it is paid to the environment or in the form of grants; one thing is sure: it is always charged to your health” ~ Michael Pollan
Just emulating Nature it’s now possible build Social Spaces for Collaboration, communities, ecovillages, land-based Commons campuses, Decentralized Autonomous organizations (DAOs) who together can dedicate to regenerative agriculture, p2p learning, to the creation of new development models in suitable environments to improve physical and spiritual well-being of the single individual and, together, collective intelligence and collective well-being.
Implementation of specific apps as an alternative distributed, digital ledger could result particularly important because blockchains come with predetermined economic structures attached to them (think of the mining plutocracy that has created a larger wealth disparity on the Bitcoin blockchain than currently exists in the world). Distributed ownership of data governed by those who produce it means no rent-based models. Holochain is an open source framework that aims at encourage the commons-management of shared infrastructure thinking along the lines of commons as opposed to capitalist modes of exchange. The concept emphasizes interdependence, collaboration, and mutual support.
Here’s Holochain in 100, 200, and 500 words.
Cooperative frameworks and scalable & distributed framework for economic network are poised to solve fundamental problems of blockchain and usher a new distributed web with anti-fragile patterns that support the collaboration and governance people need today [….].
Holochain is a framework that can augment also the powers of blockchains by offering control, trust, and transparency in a local, private network — while also being able to reference a specific transaction, action, or other data on a public blockchain.
Working on smart contracts it’s possible ensure that purchase records and negotiation history are placed in the blockchain, indicating ownership of the property in a secure and unique manner. This will reduce legal costs for buyers and make the process of purchasing apartments, houses, etc. Smoother and extremely quick: it will take just a few minutes to complete the deal, simply by selling also, for example, the dedicated NFT. Creating a bridge between a Holochain app and an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), a NFT could be effectively minted on both networks by the binding of a Holochain agent and an EVM wallet that results in a single NFT ID. This can provide significant new utilities to the NFT space and the broader Web3 ecosystem.
Think about the possibilities of being able to implement this technology in land acquisition, tokenization of projects and real estate.
Also think about the possibilities in management of common assets.
In real estate, for example, common assets might include shared amenities or spaces within a property or community, such as a recreational area that is accessible to all residents.
In environmental and resource economics, a common asset could be a common-pool resource, such as a shared pasture, forest, or fishery. These are resources that are accessible to a group of users, and there is a risk of overuse or depletion if not managed sustainably.
In a decentralized economy, these common assets can be owned or managed collectively by the participants in the system, rather than by a central authority. These common assets can take many forms, but some of the most common types include:
- Public parks and open spaces
- Rivers, lakes, and other bodies of water
- Beaches
- National parks and forests
- Publicly owned cultural and historical landmarks
- Publicly owned natural resources, such as forests and fisheries
- Air and water quality
- Wildlife and biodiversity
- Publicly owned infrastructure, such as power plants and water treatment facilities.

Through these awareness-raising initiatives, and new ones that are spreading across the world, will also be encouraged:
– The conservation in situ, or in their natural habitat, of local varieties favoring the recovery (for the varieties at risk of extinction), natural improvement and maintenance of genetic resources.
– The redistribution of seeds to those who already produce them, thus avoiding the use of patented, hybrid or GMO seeds and instead stimulate the culture of generosity or e.g. eat for equity schemes.
– Encouraging education, innovation and production to bring back the WOW into real food [read the story and watch a video of Miracle Farm].
– Enhancement of uncultivated and marginal land or anthropized urban area and, at same time, about plants or other natural resources for nutritional, curative or constructive purposes [….];
– Encouraging the development of supply chains towards the species of interest through the awareness and involvement, also through micro-investments, of communities and individuals, no longer understood as consumers only (a term that does not exist in Nature, since everything in Nature is always transforming and nature works to rebuild itself) but as conscious individuals which exchange their values peer-to-peer and without any intermediation such as agents inside a Valueflows (a vocabulary for the distributed economic networks of the next economy, able to coordinate the creation, distribution, and exchange of economic resources the same way as the internet was born for connecting with people).
– Humans are empowered to reinvent incentive structures that encourage the existence of the nutrition they actually want, free from the enclosures of entrenched interests that today serve to protect the status quo. The principles of self-sufficiency and food sovereignty are so nurtured and supported, as envisaged by the Nyéléni Declaration, in Mali, in 2007;
– The encouragement of research to define production processes in the future, guaranteeing the protection of the environment and well-being, using suitable techniques to also allow for quality certifications;
– The offer, where possible, of new cultivation opportunities with low environmental impact, with a view to diversifying and integrating the income of local farmers, especially for those that operate in difficult areas and subject to the phenomena of abandonment;
– The rapprochement with Gaia, and good practices of land care, for young and old;
– Basic skills teaching of survival in order to take care of yourself, so that you are less dependent on the system;
– Answer to the concerns of parents about the lack of “Vitamin N (‘N’ is for Nature);
– Last but not least, educating adults to the happiness of children, thanks to experiential and emotional education (from ex-ducere = to pull out, no pull in).
To start taking the first steps I share some interesting websites as they contain huge databases with thousands of useful information for everyone:
– The Garden.org Plants Database
Furthermore, I share an interactive map that can help you choose plants based on the area you choise for regenerative purpose:
To avoid making the plants suffer or die, preferably choose plants with a minimum critical temperature above a few degrees. By doing so you can also favor or encourage a selection of plants that are more intrinsically adaptable to the context.
Finally I share the access link to the ArcGIS platform to be able to analyse and evaluate up-to-date data (not in real time), linked to Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) which is used to quantify vegetation greenness and is useful in understanding vegetation density and assessing changes in plant health in a given area. NDVI data is a compilation of visible and near infrared bands, ranges in value from -1.0 to 1.0, and is used to measure the vigor of vegetation on Earth.
