What is the Regenerative economy?

​Inspired by nature, the idea underpinning the Regenerative economy is to give more than we take.  The Regenerative economy is a system in which we can generate wealth while restoring health and balance to Earth’s living systems. Regenerative entrepreneurship is the process of growing successful businesses in this economy.
