How can everyone participate in the long-term regeneration of the places they care about?

This question sits at the heart of our organisation.

IISLA develops the knowledge, relationships and participation mechanisms that enable people, communities and capital to participate together in the long-term regeneration of places. 

Our work is guided by a simple purpose: to contribute to the long-term regeneration of living systems within places.

We believe that regeneration begins with participation. When people are able to contribute the resources they have, they build trust, strengthen belonging and create the conditions for places to flourish over generations.

Over more than a decade of research, practice and collaboration across communities, enterprises, investors and institutions, IISLA has developed the Harvest Circle Framework (HCF)—an operating framework that aligns ecosystem participation in service of the long-term regeneration of places.

IISLA translates ideas into frameworks, publications, partnerships and demonstration projects that support place-based regeneration. FarmYields is one participation mechanism developed through IISLA to support the transformation of local food systems.

Our work brings together practitioners, policymakers, philanthropists, investors, researchers and community leaders who recognise that long-term regeneration cannot be achieved by any single organisation alone. It emerges when people, communities, institutions and capital work together.
