People think starting Inclusive Growth Models is: 1. Just about giving financial aid 2. Only for large-scale commercial farmers 3. A short-term solution What it actually is: 1. Skill development and continuous training for underprivileged farmers 🌱 2. Creating partnerships between small and large-scale farmers 🤝 3. Long-term economic development through sustainability and innovation 💡 That’s literally it.

Our sustainable human existence By taking responsibility for the essential human values for our sustainable existence as a natural living species, we can contextually respect and applaud the self aware contributions of government, business, citizens, education and science. Equally we can question the prioritization of other interests that lead to general health deterioration, safety issues, destruction of our habitat, etc. We always have a choice. Regional differences appear when the choice for sustainable human development is made together. Our "healthy city" approach is an inspiring example.

‘Without nature, we're all dead anyway.' - Antony Yousefian Nature is the foundation of our economy, yet it is severely undervalued. An estimated $125 trillion worth of ecosystem services go unaccounted for globally. This irony makes it harder to predict growth and mitigate risk, as economies and businesses fail to properly value this critical asset on their balance sheets. Reliable, long-term investment is essential to address this challenge. Patient capital that focuses on accounting for nature is one of the only ways we can get the results we need. Yesterday I attended a brilliant Innovate UK x Climate Connection event hosted by Juliette Devillard , focused on 'Capital for Climate: Agri-Tech'. Alastair Cooper’s talk highlighted the decline in capital flowing into agri-tech. To accelerate commercialisation in this sector, he stressed the need to penalise negative environmental externalities and compel major corporations to finance the changes required throughout the value chain. It’s always great to connect with others who are mission driven to support more capital in creating a regenerative impact for food, farming and our future as humanity.

Overconsumption: A Crisis We Cannot Ignore At Sustain-A-Verse, we are committed to creating a sustainable future by addressing one of the most pressing challenges of our time: overconsumption. Overconsumption affects the environment, society and our well-being. The demand for products leads to the overuse of resources, deforestation and millions of tons of waste ending up in landfills every year. This strain on the planet is unsustainable. The economic systems fueling overconsumption often rely on exploitative labor practices. Low wages and poor working conditions sustain industries like fast fashion, creating deep social inequalities. On a personal level, the cycle of buying and discarding can lead to stress and dissatisfaction. We are often led to believe that more consumption leads to happiness, but this is rarely the case. Sustain-A-Verse is dedicated to educating and empowering individuals to make conscious choices. Small changes, like choosing quality over quantity, supporting secondhand markets, or demanding accountability from brands, can make a big difference. In our November edition, we explore the impacts of overconsumption and practical ways to address it.

Imagine this: If we’d invested the $1 trillion spent on Middle East conflicts into regenerative agriculture and renewable energy here at home, we could be energy independent right now... I have been reading Blessed Unrest by Paul Hawken and this statistic hit me hard. A trillion dollars! That's enough to start an entire era of sustainable growth. Enough to create systems that actually support our future. 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗱, 𝘄𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘁. This isn’t about blame; it’s about priorities. Time and again, we choose short-term fixes over real, lasting solutions. 𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝗯𝗶𝗴 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺𝘀 - 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀? Here’s my take: it’s time to flip the script. ✅ Imagine channeling that kind of investment into regenerative systems for food, clean energy, and water security. ✅ Imagine treating sustainability as a necessity, not a nice-to-have. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀, 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆? I believe we are. We’ve got the tools, the technology, and a growing number of people demanding real progress. It’s time to make investing in ourselves the standard—not the exception. What do you think? Are we ready to choose sustainable growth over conflict? Let’s get this conversation started. ____________________________________ 👋 Rick Langille, CEO Harvest Today 🔗 Follow for more real world insights and inspiration 🌱 Empowering communities to grow fresh, sustainable food
