Knowledge base

Concepts, methods and applied transition knowledge

The New Economy knowledge base brings together core concepts, methods and perspectives from the regenerative economy. Articles explain footprint, compliance, circular product design, regenerative strategy, food systems and regional policy in practical terms. The knowledge base functions as the evidence layer behind New Economy services and solutions, with clear links to life-cycle assessment (LCA), social cost-benefit analysis (MKBA), CO2 footprint, carbon sequestration, biobased materials and circular business models.

Topics

Four knowledge clusters for practical use

This hub deliberately does not duplicate the Dutch DefinedTermSet glossary schema.

Measurement, reporting and compliance

Footprint, greenhouse gas accounting, reporting duties and the measurable basis for transition choices.

Circular product design

Life-cycle assessment, material choices, product passports and design strategies that determine environmental impact.

Regenerative and good enterprise

Frameworks for restoration, broad prosperity, fair pricing and business models that move beyond lower damage.

Food and regions

Systemic knowledge for municipalities, regions, food strategies and healthy living environments.

From knowledge to application

Definitions only matter when linked to decisions

The concepts in this knowledge base connect to practical decisions: which impact must be measured, which material choice changes the footprint, which intervention creates social value, and which strategy can be implemented by a business, municipality or region.

The hub therefore links knowledge directly to services, solutions and project examples, rather than treating definitions as isolated glossary entries.

Frequently asked questions

What is the New Economy knowledge base?

The New Economy knowledge base is a hub for concepts, methods and practical perspectives from the regenerative economy, including CO₂ footprint, life-cycle assessment (LCA), social cost-benefit analysis (MKBA), circular design, food systems and regional policy.

Does this page contain glossary schema?

No. The English hub does not duplicate the Dutch DefinedTermSet glossary schema. It provides a clear topic structure and links to article pages.

Which topics are included?

The hub covers measurement, reporting, compliance, circular product design, regenerative enterprise, food systems and regional transition questions.

How does the knowledge base connect to services?

Articles explain the concepts used in New Economy services, including baseline measurement, CO₂ footprint, life-cycle assessment (LCA), social cost-benefit analysis (MKBA), regenerative design and circular business models.

From concept to practical route

Knowledge becomes useful when connected to a decision, design choice, strategy or implementation route.
