“The more we study the major problems of our time, the more we come to realise that they cannot be understood in isolation. They are systemic problems, which means that they are interconnected and interdependent.”
– Fritjof Capra
The name ‘Veriterra’ originates from the combination of the Latin words ‘veritas’ (truth) and ‘terra’ (earth).
In essence, the ability to understand the natural systems that make life on earth possible, also known as ecoliteracy, providing us with a framework that guides our design and decision-making.
To develop a ‘sustainable’ project is ‘easy’.
Many would ge guided to do so by following the guidelines of the SDG’s, or what the sector has established; for example, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system for new constructions.
Although these are a great start, they don’t ensure a systems integration approach and holistic design that fully incorporates natural systems.
We go beyond ‘Sustainable’.
We actually aim to understand the context in which we are working, and apply systems thinking, the blue economy and circular economy principles, regenerative agriculture, and other tools so that a holistic solution can emerge, not constrained by industry guidelines (these are often already satisfied).
We believe that solutions to the poly-crisis we are facing today requires us to take a step back, observe, connect, listen and understand, before deep transformation can bring forth solutions.
The result is a great learning curve for all involved, often including creativity, resulting in a deeper understanding of our impact.
