A book with cutting-edge industry and sector data and observations, informing existing and future scholarly work, practitioners and organizations on key issues and challenges in sustainability. Thought-provoking, with highly intellectual material to generate fundamental questions and critiques around sustainability matters, practices and conceptualizations. Iva Bimpli, Lecturer, University of Leeds, School of Earth and Environment, United Kingdom When one is guided by science, the way forward for humankind is not a rosy path - it is a path marred by unnecessary ecological degradation and irresponsible resource draw down. Peter Nemetz's new work removes some of the varnish that otherwise obscures the precarious vista that humanity now faces. It gives us cause for far deeper reflection regarding our common fate on this planet. Scott Valentine, Professor of Regenerative Planning and Circular Economy, Director of Research Promotions Office, Kyushu University, Japan Using an economic-business based approach, this book presents the unvarnished scientific facts that describe the dimensions of global ecological change conveying a critical message to humankind: unless drastic action is undertaken to change how economic systems relate to nature, the survival of our way of life in this planet is in serious jeopardy. Miguel A. Altieri, Professor Emeritus of Agroecology, University of California, Berkeley, USA
