It is an alternative currency design that reexamines the conventional separation of humans and nature and rejects the “ontology of separation” that has driven the externalization of natural capital. We aim to build a framework in which practices of “small-scale regeneration,” rooted in the culture, ecosystems, and local businesses of each region, become a network of mutual learning and support, so that consumption on FoR directly leads to the restoration of the world we inhabit. To extend Escobar’s argument, DIYing our own currency is nothing other than the process of acquiring the infrastructure for “autonomy” — the capacity for local communities to determine their own destiny. To hold and use FoR is, through FoR itself, to undergo a process in which we transform into relational beings who live together with others and with the Earth. In realizing this vision, we will leverage digital technology to overcome the liquidity constraints that conventional local currencies have faced. However, rather than inflating capital in the global abstract space as existing ReFi (regenerative finance) often does, we believe the crucial task is to build mechanisms that intentionally “land” value in specific bioregions and circulate it toward community regeneration. The question is how to express, at the protocol level, a lasting relationality that is not a transient connection completed and severed by a transaction, but one that becomes more deeply woven the more transactions are repeated. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://forforest.gitbook.io/for/for-en/context/2.4-toward-practical-implementation-through-for.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
