| description | In this article, the authors begin with a discussion of energy issues, noting some basic problems with dependency on fossil fuels. They also survey the energy situation as it exists today, including efforts to find alternative and renewable energy sources, especially related to food production. As the discussion makes clear, today's economy is based on a linear approach that wastes energy and material resources at many stages of the production process. They highlight the need for a new strategy that abandons this approach in favor of an interrelated and holistic methodology: Systemic Design. -- Systemic thinking sees production as a comprehensive system, not a series of disconnected stages. From this viewpoint, by-products and waste are not simply discards. In the final sections of this article, they offer some guidelines and practical policies that can be used to promote holistic development that is genuinely sustainable. |
