NATURAL CAPITAL

Innovations that increase natural ressources, clean air, water, earth, plants, biodiversity. Create natural capital through perma culture, gardening concepts, biomaterial production or eco-system solutions.

With a record size world population, natural capital is under pressure. At the same time it is rising rapidly in value, as awareness about its limits are becoming clearer. But being completely dependent upon natural ressources for a stable supply of food and goods new ways of using, extracting and creating raw materials are needed.

Opportunities for Businesses

From a business perspective Natural Capital can be a strategic reason for securing a stable delivery of raw materials and setting up local production schemes e.g. through the use of renewable- and biobased materials. Many interesting possibilities exist to replace oil-based and metallic components in products with plantbased elements that can simply be grown and cultivated on a plot of land.

Combining this with a local approach, using the potential of saving large transportation costs, perspectives become even more interesting.

The Value of Eco-Systems

From a broader society perspective the value of natural eco-systems is even greater as they provide a huge worth of free services such as arable lands, clean air, and clean water - ressources that are extremely expensive or even impossible to replace. The adverse effects also hit many industries and business. Just have a look at those regions of the world where bees have disappeared, and farmers have to do polination of plants manually with a brush.

Even the rethinking of food production can make up a major difference making it an integrated part of an organisations ressource use and production, setting up or supporting local permaculture projects or a forrest garden to provide fresh local foods.

The good thing about eco-systems is that they are so extremely flexible, meaning there is room for them everywhere - from the smallest land plat, parking lot or window ledge you can plant and grow nature. 

Proactive solutions

Using a strategic approach each organisation can work with its natural ressources as a driver for innovation and sustainable positioning, designing new products and/or setting up local or cross-industry raw material collaborations that provide  new and sustainable ressources.

Products and services that reestablished the broken connections with our eco-systems will naturally be of high value to our future.
