This research is rooted in the concept of regenerative business models, post-growth economies and indigenous ecology. To a viable and just economic society, peace and safety to the soul must have a place as well. That’s why these are all linked. The emergence of new markets for goods and services. Sustainable alternatives aim to eliminate as many of the adverse impacts on the environment from business operations as they can. New products and services in the marketplace. But regenerative business models function at a level above sustainability, not in simple search of their opposite. They also try to make a difference in society and the environment for the betterment. Post-growth economies are refuting the objectives of maximizing profits by working for human well-being within environmental limits, and conventional ecological models have much to teach us about sustainable land management and ecological restoration over time scales. Post-growth economies depart from a profit-maximising system and are based on human well-being within ecological limits. And we have a lot to learn from indigenous ecological traditions about long-term land stewardship and ecosystem restoration, as well. This paper is a compilation of information found from literature, case studies and news sources in order to illustrate the potential such combined efforts have in terms of long-term regenerative solutions. Trinergy: Real-world Use Cases Examples, such as Attune food forest in Himachal Pradesh, India, demonstrate how principles of regenerative business models can play a part in the restoration of ecological systems they exist within and enable local communities to thrive. As emphasized in the study, regulatory support, co-construction and defining new recorded indicators for success need to be the minimum conditions if a real transition from Sustainable Changing to regenerative economies and eventually a post-growth economy will ever come. The findings underscore the need for more research, international collaboration and a holistic approach to sustainably secure the future.
