On the Blauwe Economie
'If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent
the universe- Carl Sagan
• From Gunter Paulie
• Blue Economy – 21principles
• Not the Green Economy but the Blue economy
• Look at zeri.org
Some principles
• Replace something with nothing - whale
• Multiple benefits /cash flows (use what is locally available) – tree
• Nature: Few species -> rich bio-diversity
• Fulfil basic needs with what is locally available , innovations inspired by nature….
Systems thinking
• Waste does not exist…
• Biomimicry…the brew and the best thing in the world ……BEER
Guideline
• Output from one input to another
• Relationships
• Auto-generation
• Act locally
• Man at the centre of the project
• (Linear vs the systemic production model) The meat example.
Rain
• Water cycle…carbon cycle …
• Water is the driving force of the whole nature …Da Vinci
• Water has to move …to meander (the vortex theory)
Summary
• Look at things differently
• Systems thinking
• Inspiration from nature to solve problems
• Think about another one????
Nutrient analysis in progress
Farmers have understood the nutrient value
The crop
The fruits
Questions
• Behaviour change
• Global situations
• Legal/Policy framework as in EU
The moneyless economy
• …I don’t need money in my pocket
• Forget the MBA principles
• Look at what is locally available
• Starbucks Spain example…freeing cash flows
• Coffee waste to mushrooms (sold locally don’t forget the 80,000 Euros , half price for mushrooms but upfront payment)
The Katshoek Gebouw eg
• The fishing example…
• Systems thinking
• Create a community with different characters (don’t get experts at all)
• Don’t start in the centre, start at the periphery
• Respond to basic needs…..generate multiple benefits…
