​Geopolitical boundaries lay the foundation for our global economy, in many ways enabling the extraction of value from people and landscapes in favor of short-term economic returns. Could a new approach to place — a bioregional lens, where human societies organize around their physical landscapes — guide and inform how we finance and shape value flows?

​As many across the world envision life-affirming economies, bioregionalism — a term coined in the 1970s — is making a comeback. Thousands of bioregional groups around the world are working to restore landscapes, watersheds, and steward biodiversity. But how can these efforts plug into financial flows that could meaningfully support their initiatives?

​Next up in Ma Earth’s Learning Lab, we’re joined by regenerative economist Samantha Power, co-author of Bioregional Financing Facilities and Director of the BioFi Project. We’ll hear how Samantha and her collaborators are facilitating the creation of financial institutions in the Amazon rainforest, Cascadia, and beyond — redirecting capital toward regeneration and local economies.

​In this Lab we’ll explore…

​💧 The origins and future of the bioregionalism movement
💧 Challenges regenerative land projects face in accessing funding, and pathways forward
💧 How communities, funders, and institutions can coordinate to create systemic change

​Join us for an interactive webinar on how bioregional financing and place-based collaboration could help catalyze regenerative economies around the world.
