ReFi Podcast

In the first episode of Season Four of the ReFi Podcast “The Regeneration Nexus,” hosts Maya and Tereza interview Samantha Power, a regenerative economist, futurist, bioregionalist, and co-founder of the BioFi Project. Samantha discusses her new book, 'Bioregional Finance and Facilities: Reimagining Finance to Regenerate Our Planet,' and delves into the concepts of bioregionalism and decentralized technology to foster place-based approaches for ecological and cultural regeneration. She outlines the idea of bioregional financing facilities (BFFs) and their potential to decentralize financial governance, organize synergistic portfolios of projects, and catalyze the transition to regenerative economies. They also discuss innovative mechanisms such as eco-credits, nature-based currencies, and web3 technologies as tools to support these goals.
