“Our institutions are no longer serving us. We must give birth to institutions that support a new kind of economy, a new kind of philosophy, a new kind of ontology, a new way of being on this planet. And Bioregional Financing Facilities can play a critical role in supporting that transition.”

- Lynne Twist, Founder Pachamama Alliance

“The regenerative economy I imagine MUST be built on a foundation of bioregionally adapted, landscape scale regeneration. Bioregional Financing Facilities are the critical missing infrastructure. A brilliant and timely clarion call!”

- John Fullerton, Author of Regenerative Capitalism, and former Managing Director of JPMorgan

"In the 50+ years of my work in the bioregional movement, I never imagined that anything like Bioregional Financing Facilities would come forth in my lifetime (or ever). BFFs provide a specific, fully integrated, comprehensive pathway for taking ecological economics and bioregionalism from the realm of the theoretical and visionary to operational implementation. In this astonishing work the epochal spiral comes around again in a living architecture of manifestation."

- David Haenke, Author of Ecological Politics and Bioregionalism
