I am an ambitious and enthusiastic food business consultant.  With 12 years experience within the small and medium sized coffee roastery business and some corporate experience, I have recently taken the step to go self employed with the mission for all European Coffee Roasteries to be organised in such a way they can focus on the work they like to do like roasting coffee and selling beautiful products, rather than overhauling systems and instructions. Thereby accomodating companies to step out of the current capitalistic status quo and continuing to focus on their own drive and passion, whilst working within a sustainable business model, My interests lie in  ,  ,    and

After a master's in Human Resources I worked as a Headhunter for the development/ non-profit sector and then worked as an HR Generalist in a for-profit. I witnessed how corporations' focus on profit maximisation, sales, revenue and growth are governed by capitalism and have got nothing to do with social issues, the environment and socio-economic inequalities. It became apparent that ever-increasing production and consumption are considered normal whilst it isn't.  I was inspired to do another masters at UCL in Science Technology and Society which gave me perspective on the role of science and policymaking in bringing material changes in the world. I tried transitioning into social research and projects but had a tough time. I enjoyed reading the work of Mariana Mazzucato, Kate Raworth, Jason Hickel as it resonates with my concerns and answers some of today's pressing problems. While I continue to be a Human Resources professional my mind is occupied with the problems of the 21st Century. I feel everyone on the planet should have the opportunity to contribute to such issues. I'd love to be a part of the DEAL Community and connect with like minds. I hope to learn ways in which professionals across fields could contribute towards maintaining the planetary boundaries in an equitable fashion.

 I am Vaani Garg, an enthusiastic 2nd -year college student pursuing Economics Honours . I am driven by the will to create a student-led start-up whose benefits would accrue to society. I have spent 10 years of my childhood living in the countries of Mozambique and Tanzania. This cross-cultural experience has widened my perspective on diversity inclusivity and has created an interest of mine to interact with people from different places to know their cultures better therefore I enjoy taking part in MUNs and debates because it brings me to the interactive and exciting world of research, innovative solutions, and negotiations. It also helps me relate to the real world through an Economic approach. I currently aspire to make a career in Public Policy and International Economic Development. I vision myself as working in institutions like the World Bank and United Nations. I am open to writing economics based research paper that would aim towards making a positive and a helpful impact on our society. Thanks for reading till the end and hoping to hear from you! #environment

I want to be part of the road towards a sustainable future. After obtaining my two Master’s degrees in Business Economics: Marketing (Ghent University) and in Sustainable Management (Uppsala University), I am ready to put theory into practice and to keep learning. I believe my soft skills communication, teamwork and problem-solving are a great asset in the workplace. About me: I’m positive, easy-going and love to connect with people from all over the world. By living in different countries (🇧🇪🇫🇷🇸🇪🇪🇸), I got to know different languages, cultures and perspectives. It also increased my adaptability and taught me that I thrive in an international and multidisciplinary environment, thanks to its richness of views and opinions.

Oxford

Hi everyone! I'm Caty, co founder at Intaconnected. Since my time working with Oxfam I have been curious and admiring of Doughnut Economics and today I feel lucky to have chosen a career journey/purpose that is constantly learning and creating new ways to incentivise and mobilise business and finance towards transformational business models that will accelerate our collective journey to a Net Positive future.  It is fun to keep learning and testing different ways to translate regenerative economics and frameworks like the Doughnut into practical solutions for organisations - to upskill businesses and provide clear pathways at each step along the journey to a safe, just and equitable future.  We don't have much time left, so it is a thrill to be able to join this inspiring community and I hope to contribute my part in disseminating this amazing theory into practice thanks to your brilliant tools and techniques. I look forward to learning with and form you all!  #regenerativebusiness   #safefuture #planetaryboundaries   `#humanity #biodiversity

As an economics undergraduate I became very disenchanted by the traditional economic theories and decided not to pursue a career in the area. Having read donut economics back in 2017 and recently discovering DEAL, I’m looking for new ways to contribute towards a community which is looking to redirect society towards policies that improve lives in a more sustainable,  equitable and holistic way. #netzero #carboncapture

Brisbane, Australia

Founder of The Shady Lanes Project and member of Regen Brisbane When I started my verge garden, my reason was simple. I was fed up with mowing it. Back then, I had no idea where it would lead me. Now I think verge gardens could be the key to saving us from the worst of climate change and biodiversity loss. Big claim for unimportant little bits of land, you might say. Come on the journey and see if you change your mind. The Shady Lanes Project is about a lot more than us all planting out our little patches. It’s about bringing diverse people together to learn how to collaborate by doing. It’s about changing the way we see nature. It’s about eco-systems thinking. Most of all, it’s about learning by doing the doable - and making what’s doable grow. [ShadyLanes_verge_eastward.jpg] [ ] Find out more: Website - Substack and newsletter

I'm a 50-something doughtnut (economics) lover with a passion for our planet and deep-seated exasperation with the slow speed of change in my country and globally.  It's blindingly obvious to me that in everything we do, we have to start with the earth first.  I'm reading Kate's book right now, and wondering what I can do to move these ideas forward. My MP appears to be about as useful as a chocolate teapot. I'm interested in perhaps trying to apply doughnut economics in a local way to start with.

Living remotely in Wales, post covid, I've been thinking about Community Resilience Community Sufficiency, and Low Tech solutions to issues faced. Wales is full of remnants of agrarian society/economies. Almost everything was taken from the land and produced and consumed locally. Im interested to see what can be reinvigorated and what still works in today's civilization. The following is taken from my CV: A resourceful and technically proficient project manager with a diverse background in IT, Post Production, AV, Events, and Installations. Skilled in managing both internal operations and externally facing projects, I have successfully collaborated with clients across the globe in various verticals and industries.

Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

I began reading the book this week, and I am so pleased to read it. As a classically trained economics and finance major from 25 years ago, I never liked the lack of a "price" for externalities - I recognised then, as I do now the real social cost of these. So I am so happy to be a part of this community, and I want to help spread the word. I was hoping someone had taken the content and made it available on a creative commons type platform to share it, and for more ideas and communities to be created from it. And here it is! So very please!  

Morrisville, NC (RTP)

Hello! I found my way to the DEAL community after Googling "must-read books on . My Google search was inspired by my desire to do something beyond the scope of the Holistic certification I recently earned. I desperately desire to help fix a broken system rather than help others navigate and survive one. As a critical thinker, puzzle lover, and management enthusiast—reading Doughnut made me excited about finally having a framework that made saving the world more than just a fanciful dream. Having been in the service and marketing industry for much of my professional life—I've always been conflicted by my love for wonderfully made and curated things and what it took for those things to come to be. While I am great at connecting people and dots—I am currently looking into Environmental Studies undergraduate degrees and possibly an MPA or other advanced degree that will make me even more useful to this cause. I am particularly interested in  , , and . I'm itching to start, but I don't know exactly where and how. I'm hoping joining this community will help me find where I fit and can best contribute! A balance of being outside in and combing through would be ideal.
