"All the present crises in the world reinforce each other and produce a synergistic effect, making problems even worse.  Each crisis contains within its solution great opportunities for the regeneration of environment, civilization, culture—and peace and prosperity.  Together, the solution of the present network of crises can be seen as the creation of a network of opportunity and change—The Global Regeneration Network.  In this network, an opportunity realized in one area improves the chances for solution of problems in all other areas.

"Regeneration is the ability of nature to restore that which has been lost or diminished.  There are many examples of this near-miraculous phenomenon but most important of all for our planet is the ability of soil to regenerate itself. Regenerative Soil Science teaches us how to restore the soil health of poor and drought-ridden farmlands."

"Each Regenerative Zone will get an online "Center". The Global Regeneration Plan will help the developing world by boosting agricultural and economic self-sufficiency on a region-by region basis. Micro-credit or micro-grant programs from the World Bank and other institutions will finance small business people and farmers with needed equipment and seed. Each region will have a volunteer or paid regional planner as well as a regenerative agriculture expert assigned to support it online."

"Regenerative Development is the next step beyond Sustainable Development. It is based on the work of Robert Rodale in the 1980s, who outlined a new "Regenerative Economics". Regenerative Economics is designed to track and restore economic strength from the bottom-up rather than the old trickle-down or top-down strategies."

"Education is key to completing the paradigm shift and ending the contradictions of today’s Mechanistic Dilemma.  Education must re-answer the three essential questions and tell 21^st Century students a New Story of who we are, how we got here and where we’re going.  Then students will be prepared and ready to apply the new paradigm to the future they will inherit."
