REGENERATIVE ECONOMY IN THE EXPONENTIAL ERA: INTEGRATING AI, WEB3, AND BLOCKCHAIN INTO REGENERATIVE BUSINESS MODELS

The regenerative economy represents a transformative paradigm that transcends traditional approaches of minimizing environmental impact, evolving toward systems oriented to the active restoration of natural and social ecosystems (Raworth, 2017; Fullerton, 2015). This shift is critically relevant in...
