Abstract

Natural capital is becoming an important topic for global biodiversity and sovereign risk of nations for their food supply chains which can be linked to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 12–15. In this paper we explored the literature to develop a conceptual framework to determine how primary industry co-operatives (such as in agriculture and aquaculture) can play a role in managing natural capital. The conceptual framework developed shows that members of co-operatives have roles to act within their organisation that utilise natural capital. Acting out these roles may see the co-operative become pro-active in governing its natural capital based on economic and social goals which are guided by the co-operative principles and values. Working with the financial services sector, co-operatives would be able to engage with their members to educate and share knowledge on strategies to manage and/or mitigate the risk of natural capital depletion. This can be managed through farm management techniques and financial instruments such as credit and insurance.

管理自然资本以实现联合国可持续发展目标12-15的农业合作社:概念框架
自然资本正成为全球生物多样性和各国粮食供应链主权风险的一个重要话题,这与联合国可持续发展目标12-15有关。在本文中,我们探索了文献,以开发一个概念框架,以确定第一产业合作社(如农业和水产养殖)如何在管理自然资本中发挥作用。开发的概念框架表明,合作社成员在利用自然资本的组织中有自己的角色。发挥这些作用可能会看到合作社在管理其自然资本方面变得积极主动,这些自然资本是基于合作社原则和价值观指导下的经济和社会目标。通过与金融服务部门合作,合作社将能够与其成员开展合作,就管理和/或减轻自然资本枯竭风险的战略进行教育和知识分享。这可以通过农场管理技术和信贷和保险等金融工具加以管理。
