DREVO's economic and social model

An ecosystem that creates natural, social and economic value

Environmental projects can't survive solely on enthusiasm, short-term grants, or one-time charitable donations. Their sustainable development requires a model that simultaneously restores the natural environment, creates jobs, strengthens local communities, and generates their own revenue streams.

The DREVO economic and social model is based on the combination of:

restoration of nature;

cooperatives;

locally produced;

education;

social support;

responsible entrepreneurship;

digital transparency;

long-term investment.

The main principle of DREVO:

The economy must support the life of the territory, and the social system must help people become its responsible participants, guardians and creators.

1. Three types of value created

Every DREVO project must create three types of value simultaneously.

Ecological value

reclaimed soil;

clean water;

preserved plants;

increasing biodiversity;

reduction of erosion;

improving the microclimate;

ecosystem restoration;

carbon sequestration;

preservation of the genetic fund.

Economic value

goods;

services;

workplaces;

income of participants;

cost reduction;

development of local production;

increasing the value of the restored territory;

creation of new economic chains.

Social value

education;

family support;

integration of new residents;

development of talents;

strengthening ties;

improving food security;

access to nature;

preservation of culture and crafts;

participation of residents in territorial management.

A project is considered sustainable if these three directions do not contradict each other.

2. Recovery Economy

In traditional economics, natural resources are often viewed as free raw materials. The costs of soil degradation, water pollution, species extinction, and poor health are passed on to society and future generations.

The DREVO model aims to take into account the full cost of decisions:

direct costs;

future expenses;

environmental damage;

social consequences;

cost of restoration;

long-term utility.

For example, a cheap solution today may turn out to be expensive if in a few years you need:

purify water;

restore the soil;

replace dead plantings;

compensate for damages;

treat the consequences of pollution.

3. Natural capital

Natural capital includes resources and functions that support life and economic activity:

fertile soil;

water;

forests;

biodiversity;

pollinators;

stable climate;

natural protection against erosion and flooding;

genetic resources;

the ability of ecosystems to recover.

DREVO doesn't view nature solely as a financial asset. However, economic valuation helps demonstrate that its destruction creates real costs, while restoration brings real long-term value.

4. Ecosystem services

The restored area can perform many functions:

retain water;

clean the drain;

protect the soil;

cool the air;

reduce dustiness;

support pollinators;

produce food;

provide wood and non-wood raw materials;

create space for relaxation;

maintain people's health.

Some of these functions may generate direct income, while others may reduce future public expenditure.

5. Multi-level economic model

The DREVO economy is built on several interconnected levels.

Human level

A person receives:

work;

training;

products;

services;

opportunity to realize talent;

community participation;

access to shared infrastructure.

Project level

The project produces:

Co-op level

The cooperative unites:

procurement;

production;

processing;

logistics;

sales;

investments;

social support.

Regional level

The network is being formed:

nurseries;

farms;

workshops;

Project income can be distributed between:

remuneration;

current expenses;

return on investment;

repair and updating of equipment;

reserve fund;

environmental fund;

social fund;

crop failure;

breakdown;

loss of orders;

natural disasters;

death of plants;

a sharp rise in costs;

the need for urgent replacement of equipment.

The reserve is not used to regularly cover chronically unprofitable activities without changing the model.

15. Ecological Fund

Funded by:

preservation of the genetic fund;

restoration of public lands;

environmental monitoring;

protection of biodiversity;

maintenance of objects that do not generate direct income;

emergency environmental protection measures.

19. Basic and variable pay

Payment may consist of:

guaranteed portion;

additional payments for qualifications;

compensation of expenses;

performance bonuses;

shares of the project;

seasonal allowances.

Bonuses should not encourage poor quality, concealment of problems, or exploitation of natural resources.

Possible directions:

work in a nursery;

seed sorting;

plant care;

cooking;

package;

repair;

logistics;

monitoring;

improvement;

accompanying the elderly;

For migrants and new residents, the system can provide:

language practice;

vocational training;

temporary work;

teacher;

assistance in recognizing skills;

participation in joint projects;

familiarization with local rules;

cultural exchange.

A person is seen not only as a recipient of assistance, but also as a bearer of experience, knowledge and abilities.

23. Learning through practice

Part of the education is organized directly on projects.

Model:

explanation → demonstration → work under supervision → independent execution → skill confirmation → transfer of knowledge to others.

The skill can be recorded in the participant’s digital professional passport.

24. Participant's professional passport

It may contain:

completed training;

completed work;

confirmed skills;

protection from discrimination;

safe working environment;

clear procedure for filing complaints;

respect for family responsibilities;

Inadmissibility of harassment and violence.

30. Local production

DREVO strives to create the most complete local chains:

raw material → cultivation → processing → storage → packaging → delivery → consumption → return of organic materials → compost → new production.

This reduces transport costs, losses and dependence on external supplies.

31. Group purchasing

Joint procurement allows:

get the best prices;

buy directly from manufacturers;

reduce logistics costs;

control quality;

To reduce instability, the following are combined:

spring plant production;

summer care;

autumn processing;

winter training;

equipment repair;

digitalization;

design;

storage and distribution of products.

35. Pre-orders

The subscription must be clear, voluntary and easily terminated according to the agreement.

37. Social prices

For certain goods and services the following may apply:

standard price;

participant price;

preferential price;

38. Cross-financing

A profitable direction can support a socially important direction.

For example:

a commercial nursery funds the preservation of rare varieties;

Paid courses support free programs for young people;

Digital services help pay for open environmental monitoring;

Tourism supports the restoration of the territory.

Such connections are reflected in the reporting.

39. Investment model

Investments can be directed towards:

land;

buildings;

equipment;

nurseries;

processing;

energy;

water;

digital platform;

research;

launch of production.

The investor must understand:

deadline;

risk;

expected income;

exit order;

environmental restrictions;

social obligations of the project.

40. Separation of investments and deposits

It is necessary to distinguish:

Contribution to a cooperative

Member funds related to membership and cooperative rules.

Loan

Funds provided for a specified period under established terms of repayment.

Investment

Financing a project with risk and potential income.

Donation

Non-repayable support for a specific cause.

Prepayment

Payment for future goods or services.

These forms should not be mixed in one opaque product.

41. Protection from financial manipulation

The following applies to deposits and accruals:

minimum period of participation;

daily or average monthly calculation of the balance;

waiting period;

withdrawal restrictions;

separate accounting of new receipts;

prohibition of accrual of income for the period prior to the actual contribution of funds;

independent verification;

clear agreement.

This prevents funds from being deposited just before the settlement date in order to receive an unjustified payment.

42. The average remainder principle

If a participant is awarded a bonus on funds in the system, it is advisable to calculate the bonus not based on the amount for one selected day, but on the average actual balance for the period.

In this case, it is necessary to take into account:

date of each receipt;

date of each use;

period of funds' presence;

contract terms;

financial result of activities.

Promising fixed high returns without risk analysis can pose a threat to the entire system.

43. Waiting period

For certain financial products, a period may be established during which new funds:

do not participate in income distribution;

do not provide the right to additional benefits;

cannot be withdrawn immediately.

This condition must be specified in the contract in advance.

44. Actual financial result

Only the actual obtained and confirmed result can be distributed after:

payment of expenses;

taxes;

obligations;

reserves;

depreciation;

covering losses from previous periods.

Projected income cannot be distributed as income already earned.

45. Grants and government programs

Grant funding can be used for:

research;

pilot projects;

education;

integration;

restoration of public lands;

development of innovations;

biodiversity conservation.

A project should not become completely dependent on grants if there is no model for continuing operations after they expire.

46. Public-private partnership

In large projects, the state or municipality may provide:

land;

infrastructure;

guaranteed order;

permissions;

financing;

data;

access to public areas.

Private and public partners provide:

technologies;

management;

production;

service;

investments;

monitoring.

47. Social entrepreneurship

A social enterprise combines business activities with a social purpose.

Its results are measured not only by profit, but also by:

number of jobs created;

training;

integration;

restored area;

improving the quality of life;

availability of goods and services;

preservation of cultural heritage.

elected representatives;

territorial councils;

professional chambers;

project committees;

delegate.

At the same time, strategic decisions are reserved for the general meeting or other highest form of management.

57. Competence-based management

Environmental, technical and financial decisions require professional training.

Therefore, it is necessary to distinguish:

the right to participate in setting goals;

the right to establish rules;

the right to make specialized decisions;

the right to perform work;

the right to conduct independent control.

Democratic participation does not mean abdication of professional responsibility.

58. Conflict of interest

The participant is obliged to report if the decision may bring him personal benefit.

In such cases, he can:

provide information;

participate in the discussion;

do not participate in voting;

refer the decision to an independent commission.

budget;

sources of funding;

expenses;

income;

assets;

obligations;

fund;

participants;

contracts;

environmental indicators;

social indicators;

execution status.

It links to the ecological passport and the digital twin of the territory.

61. Linking costs to results

Each significant expense item is linked to a specific result.

For example:

cost of the produced seedling;

the cost of a plant that has taken root;

cost of restored hectare;

cost of training for one participant;

cost of creating a job;

cost per unit of processed product;

cost of pollution reduction.

62. Accounting and management accounting

Accounting

Conducted in accordance with the law.

Management accounting

Helps to understand:

which directions are profitable;

what areas create social value;

where losses occur;

how much does the result cost;

which projects need to be changed.

Both types of accounting are necessary.

63. Separate accounting of funds

Means:

environmental fund;

social fund;

talent fund;

investment fund;

reserve fund

should not be mixed without an approved solution.

independent checks.

You can't only show off your successes while hiding your losses and problems.

68. Theory of Change

For each program, a logical chain is defined:

resources → actions → immediate result → change in behavior or condition → long-term effect.

Example:

training and equipment → work in a nursery → confirmed skills → permanent employment → economic independence of the participant.

69. Social impact assessment

It is necessary to distinguish:

number of events;

number of participants;

real changes;

long-term effect.

For example, completing a course does not necessarily guarantee employment. Therefore, the participant's subsequent progress is monitored.

70. Preventing dependence

Social assistance should, whenever possible, lead to:

restoration of independence;

training;

employment;

inclusion in the community;

development of their own projects.

At the same time, people who objectively need long-term support should not be deprived of it for the sake of formal indicators of independence.

71. Food security

The DREVO system can strengthen food security through:

local production;

seasonal stocks;

87. Example of distribution of annual results

Once the obligations have been fulfilled and a confirmed net result has been generated, it can be distributed, for example:

30% — development;

20% - reserve;

15% - environmental fund;

10% - social fund;

10% - education and talents;

what environmental changes have been achieved;

how many people participated;

what skills have been created;

how many jobs were saved;

What obligations remain.

95. The Complete Value Creation Model

Land, knowledge, labor and capital → design → production → ecological restoration → goods and services → income → wages → infrastructure development → environmental and social funds → training and support → new enterprises → strengthening the community → increasing the territory’s ability to self-recovery.

96. The main criterion for success

Success cannot be judged solely by the size of the profit, the number of participants, or the number of trees planted.

It is necessary to ask at the same time:

has the territory become healthier;

Has people's independence increased?

have sustainable jobs emerged?

Are shared resources preserved?

is the project able to continue;

has the system become more transparent;

Can the community solve new problems?

The final principle

The DREVO economy is not created for the sake of capital accumulation per se, but for the sake of the ability of people and territories to sustain life, develop, and pass on to future generations more opportunities than they have received.

DREVO's social model isn't built on dependence on constant assistance. It creates an environment in which people can learn, work, create their own projects, support others, and become full members of the community.

An ecological model without an economic framework remains a temporary initiative. An economy without social responsibility destroys trust. A social system without an ecological foundation loses touch with real-life conditions.

DREVO combines these three areas into one system: a healthy territory, an independent person, and a sustainable local economy.
