Salah
satu yang menjadi acuan dalam buku "Pertanian Postmodern" adalah "Blue
Economy". Sesuai saran dari penulis saya mencoba mencari buku yang
menjadi referensi dari Blue Economy yaitu "THE BLUE ECONOMY 3.0: THE
MARRIAGE OF SCIENCE, INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP CREATES A NEW
BUSINESS MODEL THAT TRANSFORMS SOCIETY" karya Gunter Pauli.
Yang saya headline dari buku ini adalah,
"Nature knows no waste, and everyone has a job."
"we can create a Blue Economy, by being inspired by Nature, by changing
the rules of the game, first growing the local economy, in order to
better respond to people’s needs through a much greater focus on the
use of what is locally available."

"Nature’s MBA – Master of Brilliant Adaptations. Do not expect the earth to produce more; do more with what the earth produces."
Blue
Economy ini menggantikan Green Economy dengan lebih menitikberatkan
bisnis dan ekonomi dengan cara sebagaimana alam bekerja dan berfokus
pada internalisasi yang bersifat lokal.
Sangat menarik untuk dipelajari dan diterapkan :)
