Summary

“To me, the cost of unsustainable and exploitative use of the earth and natural resources is one of the greatest prize mankind must continue to pay in perpetual poverty and extreme hunger. The only solution which must urgently be applied is organic production and sustainable living.”  
-------My view 
Therefore, I try to draw heavily upon my over three decades of observation, experimentations and research on the environment and human survival. I owe an immense debt to all my colleagues and team member at the HETAVED SKILLS ACADEMY AND NETWORKS INTERNATIONAL, as well as past and present mentors, partners and network organizations. In particular, I am most delighted to acknowledge the partnership with Professor Ogbonna Okorie, Dean Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Port Harcourt, Nigeria and Dr. Timon O. Emede  , Head of Department, Crops Science, Faculty of Agricultural Science, University of Benin, Nigeria: together we created the Nature First Campaigns and the Organic Wastes-to- Green Products Concept. Through this partnership and campaigns, we have created and innovated the:HETAVED Organic Floating Fish Feeds, which enables small holders fish farmers venture into profitable aquaculture business  HETAVED Organic Liquid Fertilizers, which also helps small holder farmers grow food crops and vegetables organically and  profitably for livelihood and sustenance  and HETAVED Ecosafe Campaigns -NATURE FIRST movement - which resulted to this book: ORGANIC PRODUCTION & SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT SYSTEMS. 
This book has come out at a time like this to bridge the gap between unsustainable living and transformative development, which is the core of the UN SDG- Sustainable Development Goals. It is a book about how people could change their practices and relationship with the earth and feed themselves into the future and overcome poverty and extreme hunger with climate change hazards. As am I writing this book, I tried to approach these extremes dimensions with the mind of individual and corporate responsibility. This is why rather focusing all our attention on the concern of whether organic food is healthier, our inquiry displaces ‘risk’ from the realm of consumption into that of production. 
Thus, the sum up the points of the augment here: 
Firstly, that the use of chemicals, high-input, highly mechanized farming and production systems destroys the land. 
This view according to Robert Biel in the book: “Sustainable Food Systems” was strongly supported by Karl Marx in the nineteenth century and similarly by the pioneers of the organic movement in the twentieth century. Hence, this book offers a platform and suggests a new thinking to revolutionize organic farming as the way out of human social economic problems. 
Secondly, we try to reduce and remove the complexity of language and terminologies that makes it very difficult for the average Dick and Harries to understand the implications and applications of organic practices and systems. It is very obvious that until this lack of ‘understanding’ of the link between nature and human activities- food chains- farming, production and daily living activities-, is removed or reduced to the barest minimum, there will hardly be a profitable productive venturing to satisfy human and animals food needs.

    The Catholic brings to history (when I say "history" in these pages I mean the history of Christendom) self-knowledge. As a man in the confessional accuses himself of what he knows to be true and what other people cannot judge, so a Catholic, talking of the united European civilization, when he blames it, blames it for motives and for acts which are his own. He himself could have done those things in person. He is not relatively right in his blame, he is absolutely right. As a man can testify to his own motive so can the Catholic testify to unjust, irrelevant, or ignorant conceptions of the European story; for he knows why and how it proceeded. Others, not Catholic, look upon the story of Europe externally as strangers. "They" have to deal with something which presents itself to them partially and disconnectedly, by its phenomena alone: "he" sees it all from its centre in its essence, and together.

    In The Ecosystem Economy, two McKinsey & Company senior partners offer an incisive and eye-opening look at the emerging ecosystem economy and what it means for companies used to familiar sector siloes. In the book, you'll explore how the most successful companies in the new economy aren't the ones that have applied old-school best practices but, instead, have adopted entirely new mindsets and approaches for a fundamentally transforming market.You'll also find: explanations of why it's so important for companies to adopt a new approach in the face of a foundationally changing economy (and what they stand to gain); how the new ecosystem economy will continue to evolve and change, dissolving the borders between the traditional sectors of the economy; and a comprehensive ecosystem playbook that can be applied to firms of any size and in any sector.As the barriers between sectors and disciplines come down, organizations everywhere will need to reshape their thinking about value propositions, competition, partnership, organizational and operating models, and performance management. The Ecosystem Economy is your personal roadmap to navigating that new world. It's ideal for managers and other business leaders seeking fresh new strategies and practical approaches for markets that bear little resemblance to the ones that came before.

    638 Canadian Words & 23 Phrases extends the Sound Smarter and Be More Respected series into Canada. Over 500 of these uniquely Canadian words do not appear in standard Word and Open Office dictionaries. Listening to these words you get a flavor for the brevity and wit of Canadians. In fact, as the author comments, no other variety of English has such a strong sense of humor and wit. The accompanying eBook is very useful for looking up specific words, though the author admits preferring to listen to the words wash over him as he listens on a portable device, in the car, or just at home.
