“…The origins of regenerative economics trace back to agricultural practices of the mid-20th century, although arguably has deeper roots in various Indigenous philosophies. As early as 1942, Rodale used the term regeneration to refer to an organic agricultural practice that restores soil damaged by intensive agriculture (Collado-Ruano & Segovia Sarmiento, 2022). This was widely promoted from the 1970s as a means of organic renewal of complex living systems (see Dahlberg, 1991cited in Morseletto, 2020.…”

“…For example, Lyle (1994) initiated regenerative development and design practices that fuse ecology, architecture, design, permaculture, and regenerative agriculture (Morseletto, 2020), which in turn influenced wide scale land regenerative practices to improve the health of ecosystems (e.g., Kellert, 2004;Reed, 2007). Few articles recognised how regenerative economics aligned with certain Indigenous philosophies and land management practices based on harmony with nature (Collado-Ruano & Segovia Sarmiento, 2022).…”

“…Ecological economists and others have for some decades been articulating systemic alternatives for planetary futures (Brand-Correa et al, 2022;Collado-Ruano & Segovia Sarmiento, 2022). In "Small is Beautiful: Economics as if People Mattered," Schumacher (1973) argued for designing economies around the needs of communities and popularised environmentally-and socially-minded concepts such as 'fair trade' and 'buy local.'…”

“…Beyond social and environmental harm reduction objectives, regenerative economics asks how we can repattern social, cultural, and environmental practices to enable the flourishing of all life on the planet. It brings together regenerative practices (i.e., those that encourage regeneration or renewal of biosocial systems) (Collado-Ruano & Segovia Sarmiento, 2022) with a holistic approach to the economy based on living virtuously as a member of a community through wise resource management, a concept attributed to Aristotle (Sanford, 2020). The roots of regenerative economics can be traced to the regenerative agricultural movement, an approach to land stewardship that focuses on working in harmony with nature and helping create the conditions under which ecosystems can thrive (Collado-Ruano & Segovia Sarmiento, 2022).…”

Both regenerative economics and regenerative agriculture are influenced by and aligned with Indigenous worldviews and environmental practices (NDN Collective, 2020;United Frontline Table, 2020).…”

Introduction: The relationship between humans and our planet is conditioned by an economic system that undermines rather than supports health. There has been an emerging focus on the relationship between economic structures and planetary health, but alternative economic approaches to support health for people and the planet require further development. Regenerative economics offers a compelling approach to transform humankind’s relationships with each other and their environment. Regenerative economics fosters grounded, pragmatic solutions to wider human and ecological crises that moves beyond a sustainability discourse towards one of regeneration. While there are, notionally, large areas of overlap between regenerative economics and planetary health, to date these have not been systematically articulated. Methods: A scoping review was performed to examine the background, principles, and applications of regenerative economics, and their implications for planetary health. Five databases (SCOPUS, Ovid Medline, Web of Science, Geobase, IEEE Xplore) were searched for peer-reviewed literature using key terms relating to regenerative economics and planetary health. Findings were reported using thematic synthesis. Results: The review identified a total of 121 articles and included 30 papers in the final review, from economics, industrial design, business, tourism, education, urban design and architecture, energy, technology, and food and agriculture. The principles of regenerative economics focused on people, place, planet, position, peace, plurality, and progress. Putting these principles into action requires identifying and valuing different forms of capital, taking a dynamic systems approach, applying regenerative design, developing a true circular economy, good governance, and transdisciplinary education and advocacy. Conclusions: While the principles of regenerative economics and planetary health are well aligned, the tools and actions of each field differ substantially. Planetary health can learn from regenerative economics’ grounding in natural design principles, systems-based approaches, actions at the right scale and cadence, respect for diversity, community and place, and mindset that moves beyond sustainability towards a regenerative future.

The emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic has drastically disrupted various sectors including the education system. The education system changed from a conventional landscape to online one for fulfil sustainability of the education system. Even so, there are weaknesses and deficiencies including smooth interaction and communication involving lecturers and students. This study examines three main objectives which are to identify the level of interaction between students and lecturers, to identify the level of interaction between students and students and to study the distribution of changes in action research interventions. This study uses a quantitative approach using questionnaire instruments. The findings ofthe study were analysed descriptively by viewing at the mean value, frequency and percentage. A total of 45 students from one section of the Malaysian Nationality and Development Introductory Course for the entry of the special semester of 2021. The results of the study showed that student interaction experienced positive changes based on the pre-and post-test findings. The distribution of action research findings also presented a decent improvement between the pre-and post-test. This evidently proves that interventions that emphasize the aspect of flexibility are effective and change the perception of student interaction satisfaction while learning online.

Venture growth and entrepreneurial activity impact aspects of modern societies, such as wealth creation, employment, and innovation, and also potentially influence sustainable development, a key focus in the social sciences. The study of firms has benefitted from solid theoretical foundations dating back to Edith Penrose’s The Theory of the Growth of the Firm. Yet, early-stage firms, as one of the fastest-growing types of firms, continue to be poorly understood. Therefore, we focus our analysis on the specificities of the growth patterns of new firms. Our contribution to the literature is to derive an empirically based set of growth patterns observed among early-stage firms that can be used for theory testing and in proofs. Our analysis, grounded in data from the World Bank Enterprise Surveys (WBES) encompassing over 140,000 entries, provides insights into growth patterns in early-stage firms, indirectly indicating potential intersections with sustainable business practices related, for example, to management team experience. More importantly, to make our research applicable to current real-world decisions, we evaluate the predictive capacity of these growth patterns and provide a series of conclusions that could help practitioners better evaluate the growth potential of early-stage firms.
