Introduction To Data Economics - Chapter 1: On Value, Outcomes, And Data
This chapter begins the Introduction to Data Economics series and explores the roots of Data Economics: the growing need for the expansion of the language of expressing and communicating value to address the “big” challenges and opportunities we face, and by extension the need to expand the frameworks offered by the field of economics.
Introduction To Data Economics - Chapter 2: Fundamental Concepts
In “Chapter 2: Fundamental Concepts”, we outline and summarize the fundamental concepts driving Data Economics and the Lydion DEOS as a starting point for further exploration of Data Economics and Lydion technology, as other more advanced papers will often refer back to concepts first introduced in this paper.
Introduction To Data Economics - Chapter 3: Types and Examples of Data Economies
In Chapter 3 of the Introduction to Data Economics series, we explore the “Mixed” and “Pure” Data Economies along with real-world examples for each type that help build intuitive understanding of Data Economic Frames and other key concepts.
Introduction To Data Economics - Chapter 4: Deeper Dive into Fundamental Concepts
Chapter 4 of Introduction to Data Economics dives deeper into the Fundamental Concepts introduced in Chapter 2 and explores such topics as Data Economic Frames, Data Asset Markets (DAMs) and their components, Data Economic Networks (DENETs).
Introduction To Data Economics - Chapter 5: Introducing the Lydion DEOS and its Functions
Chapter 5 introduces the Lydion DEOS as an implementation of a Data Economics Operating System (DEOS) implementing the Data Economic concepts outlined in Chapters 1 to 4, and outlines the functions and methodology of the Lydion DEOS in implementing Data Economic Frames through Lydion DAMs (Data Asset Markets) and the Lydion DENETs (Data Economic Networks) that connect them.
Four Paradigms of Farming
From “degenerative” agriculture that extracts from the land and excludes farming communities from recognizing the full value of their contributions, through to “conservative” and “net positive” agriculture, and then evolving to a “regenerative” paradigm, this highly visual piece explores the paradigms of farming and their impact on the planet and communities.

Cotton’s Journey: From Field, to Shoe, to Revolution(s)
Cotton, the world’s oldest commercial crop, now finds itself at the vanguard of the newest international agricultural revolution: regeneration. Taking this ancient crop and combining it with new tools and possibilities, the transformative power of regenerative agriculture is appearing where the world might least expect it—in the cotton fields of Haiti, where members of the Smallholder Farmers Alliance (SFA) lead the way.
Data as an Agricultural Product
If you, as a consumer, have a preference for buying food with an “organic” label, you’ve already accepted that data is an agricultural product; the data on that label conveys a higher value than a “conventional” counterpart. What happens when we connect small farmers directly to such consumer transactions, allowing them to contribute the data that helps consumers make determinations regarding the quality, value, and impact of the fruits, fibers, grains, or other goods that they grow? What if a consumer could pick up an apple and know which farm it came from? This is the future of data as an agricultural product.
Prologue: A Primer on Data Economics
A brief introduction to the science of Data Economics, the motivations behind the discipline, and the Lydion DEOS software engine that brings Data Economies to life through Lydion DENETs (Data Economics Networks). Also serves as a prologue to the Introduction to Data Economics series of papers.
The Invisible Third
A third of humanity has been largely invisible for the past half century because they have been deemed by many to be at best irrelevant, or at worst, a threat to global progress.

Review of Paul Hawken’s Regeneration
Regeneration is not a mere book, but a resource, a tool, and a guide, drawing on decades of interdisciplinary expertise and hands-on knowledge.
Entering the Age of Regeneration
Regenerative agriculture is poised to transform how farmers, consumers, and goods producers perceive the broader impact of their actions and products on the world.
