It explains that cooperatives are a form of enterprise that are distinct from investor-owned corporations, such as the cooperative identity of values and principles being shared by cooperatives across the world in all business sectors. It also mentions the corollary for investor-owned corporations that maximizes shareholder value. The chapter assesses the extent to which the cooperative identity is understood as a system of private governance based on shared values and principles. It outlines critical factors in maximizing cooperatives' potential for multiple benefits, such as incorporating identity into legislation and promoting it by cooperative federations.","PeriodicalId":211447,"journal":{"name":"Prosperity in the Fossil-Free Economy","volume":"137 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129406067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It explains how the simple act of eating a meal relies on an increasingly complex and global food system, which involves manufacturing and distributing inputs such as fertilizer, pesticides, and seeds; producing agriculture; processing, distributing, and marketing products; and disposing of waste. It also considers food systems as more than market transactions as they involve a larger web of institutions, regulations, and relationships. The chapter highlights the association of greenhouse gas with all the components of the global food system, including growing, storing, and transporting the food. It looks at a study indicating how agricultural production yielded the vast majority of the food-related emissions, followed by fertilizer manufacturing, and then refrigeration.","PeriodicalId":211447,"journal":{"name":"Prosperity in the Fossil-Free Economy","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133808098","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The case study includes an overview of the cooperative's history, type, and economic sector; context based on its industry and country; best practices in environmental sustainability; and its governance and cooperative legal structure. The chapter explores the relationship between environmental sustainability and banking, covering the banks' roles in the global system that has produced climate disruption. It mentions how bank finance determines whether to take the path of usual business or the path of the new economy and sustainable development.","PeriodicalId":211447,"journal":{"name":"Prosperity in the Fossil-Free Economy","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131929810","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It cites the international scientific consensus indicating that humans are on a deadly trajectory as increasing amounts of greenhouse gases (GHGs) are released due to economic activities. It also describes that atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) are at their highest levels in over 800,000 years and continue to rise. The chapter discusses the alarming decline of biodiversity worldwide at the close of the 2010s, noting that humanity is at a critical juncture that leads to climate-related risks to health, livelihoods, food security, water supply, personal security, and economic growth. It stresses the growing awareness around the world to move the global economy off fossil fuels and rethink and redesign man's relationship with natural resources.","PeriodicalId":211447,"journal":{"name":"Prosperity in the Fossil-Free Economy","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114253518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
