Viable Alternative for Regenerative Eco-Systems
After longer periods of economic and financial problems since 2008, our civilisation and planet are still in crisis, including climate change and the future impact of disruptive technologies such as AI and robotization. For several reasons, the SEEDS community is promoting regenerative economic development on the basis of modern technology via blockchain that is enabling new ideas and methods for creating wealth, welfare and well-being.
The current technological development enables humans “to come together” by interconnection and by rethinking older economic ideas. With the help of modern technology, we can co-create and design a new kind of economic system that we have never seen before in our history. Through cooperation, we are able to be involved and co-create a regenerative renaissance for our world.
The success of future human civilisations are predicated on agriculture and food production. SEEDS is based on finding and implementing new solutions when it comes to economic and financial systems, such as rewards for sustainable and regenerative food production that is benefiting our planet and humanity.
Every economic idea has its best before date. Capitalism has benefited through history and reduced poverty, but the current kind of market capitalism has also been problematic in relation to our ecological system. “Seedonomics” is about the promotion of green-markets, glocal projects and cooperative economy where individuals and communities interact and have stronger voices in democratic decision-making.
One of the main aims of Seedonomics is to enable an alternative system where climate and humans are in focus via cooperation and democratic governance. For example, Seedonomics does not accept the current central-banking models where public institutions can create easy credits ( quantitative easing) benefiting large companies and banks. Such easy credits often do not only go to richer individuals and organisations but also do not benefit climate transformation and real economic development in local communities.
Another feature of Seedonomics is the rejection of usury (high interest rates). Instead, SEEDS is about having an economy without transaction fees for individuals and organisations and where one gets rewarded and can earn contribution points. Seedonomics is also about a vision of living in a world without FIAT-currencies such as the American dollar and euro. This is partly in order to avoid centralization and technocratic governance but also in order to reduce the number of currencies that do not benefit the climate.
When it comes to cryptocurrencies, Seedonomics is about the promotion of more efficient systems. Bitcoin and Ehtreum cryptocurrencies made a small revolution and radical changes by offering new means of payment and alternatives to centralized FIAT-currencies. However, such older projects did not develop further by focusing on community building, meaningful projects and reducing inequality. Also, as in the case of Bitcoin, it takes a high amount of energy to perform the “mining” (creation) process of Bitcoin, which is equivalent to the annual electricity production in Switzerland.
Community building is important for market interaction. In principle, Seedonomics is about a mix-market including liberal and ecologist ideas. On the market, individuals and organisations can participate in the global trade of goods, services and capital while 20 percent of Seeds is granted for regenerative projects and 20 percent is granted for organisations operating within the SEEDS community. Due to democratic governance, these numbers can be changed in accordance with citizen’s desires through voting on a proposal within the SEEDS community. Basically, Seedonomics is about economy functioning as a regenerative ecosystem where sowing, planting and harvesting are daily parts of economic and social life.
