Restorative and regenerative: Exploring the concepts in the circular economy (2020, background): “These build on the regenerative ideas of Rodale (1983) and Pretty (1995) tominimize the inputs of energy andmaterials, while recycling inputs like water, nutrients, and organic matter (Pearson, 2007; Toensmeier, 2016).”
