With resilient systems against climate change

Source: kekgazdasag.hu

The question beyond the research is what are the main features of the production systems, which are considered as the most advanced sustainable systems of our age? The research demonstrates examples of resilient micro-regional economic systems, which fulfil the requirements of the blue and the circular economy. 

• Mushroom production in Belgrad (Serbia): An ecological innovative production model for mushroom production.
• Energy production in El Hierro (Spain): El Hierro can be a worldwide benchmark island in implementing energy self-sufficiency and autonomy systems.
• DYCLE (Diaper Cycle, Berlin) – production circle around a totally recyclable diaper: it is converted into black soil, which is used for growing fruit trees and fruits are converted to baby food and juice.
• N17 Brewery (Galway, Ireland) – a beer factory by blue economy principles. This factory produces more than eight products, including mushrooms, dog biscuits, fish.

These cases will be fully processed with the following outputs:

• A system dynamics (or the appropriate) model to cover the general framework of the case;
• Calculation of the Fitness of Evaluation indicator (for the resilience of the system);
• The popular Business Generator Canvas is further developed for a blue canvas. Each model will be demonstrated by this canvas.
• A detailed Hungarian language documentation for further usage. 

The project aims to publish 112 blue business cases and clusters in Hungarian language online. The research results are continuously published on the theblueeconomy.hu page.
