Have you checked out our Ecosystem Development Program Officer, @kenya_mchuzi's interview with @NewAmerica yet? Wonderful discussion on Kenyan savings groups meeting blockchain governance—more here: newamerica.org/insights/the-c…
www.newamerica.org The Cycles of Regenerative Governance in Kenya Hollie Russon Gilman and Sarah Jacob interview Shaila Agha about regenerative governance for the planet and local communities. @NoemaMag just featured our work in a deep dive on bioregional governance — where ecosystems, communities, & digital tools co-create new decision-making systems.

How do we "undual" ecological/technical organisms/systems and create an Institutional Development Kit ("IDK") on the other side? Check out our Executive Director's take below:
Im of the opinion that in our everyday lives, we often attribute foundational concepts and actions to digital technologies that are already latent within “nature”, or living systems. Computation, signal processing, even the basis of organizations and institutions have been latent and diversely expressed in living / ecological networks since the get go. The world always already was an internet… The digital networks you are using to read this post are a new addition to a pattern that has been unfolding for a long time.
This new book Ecological Institutions explores the possibility of new institutional forms that emerge from this kind of thinking… a world where living systems and digital / technical systems are “undualed”.
It’s not that they are integrated, they’ve never been separate in the first place.
This invites the question, how do we create and new organizational and institutional forms which nourish and regenerate our planet rather than consume it. What unlearning is entailed?
I think part of the way that has to begin is by outgrowing the metabolic resource mindset. Beyond expanded beings, how can we create organizations and institutions that are “Earth native” so to speak?
Digital addressing systems create the possibility for non-humans to be endpoints within digital networks. The ramifications of that humble assertion are actually pretty huge. It allows the possibility to expand non-human rights into novel territory where ecosystems and whole bioregions can vessels of value, data, and governance. There is a lot to work out, and thats the point of recent book. Im going to work through what that looks like concretely over a series of posts in the coming months.
