Regenerative economic theory is a way of thinking about economics that focuses on building and keeping healthy communities over making money and improving economic growth. This type of economics puts people, nature, community, and planet before all else. It looks for ways to create economic systems that work for everyone in the long-term, not just for now. Regenerative economics encourages businesses to look at all the impacts of their activities and prioritize taking care of the environment, local communities, and their customers, instead of just making profits. This means businesses consider their impact on the environment when making decisions, work with local communities, invest in people and infrastructure, and operate in ways that create better lives for everyone.
