"A young coconut between six and nine months old contains about 750 ml of water. It's a natural isotonic beverage, with the same level of electrolytic balance as we have in our blood. (...) Satin sees coconut water as a natural contender in the world's $1 billion sports drink market. "What could be better than a natural beverage product with the delicate aroma, taste, drinking characteristics and nutritional value of pure, fresh, tender coconut water, plus all the functional characteristics required of a sports drink?"

Such an outcome is not inevitable, but these developments signal the urgent need to re‐balance the
relationship between humans and nature at all scales.
Solutions from nature
A significant contribution towards such a re‐balancing can be made through ecosystem approaches. (...) These actions are distinct from purely engineering solutions – for example, a nature based solution to
coastal flooding could be in the restoration of natural mangroves while a purely engineering solution
would be to build dykes or seawalls – with potentially longer term adverse impacts. (...) Guiding Questions
What are nature‐based solutions, and how do they relate to technology‐based solutions?

Similarly, as discussed in paragraph 6, where a particular place of business is used for only very short periods of time but such usage takes place regularly over long periods of time, the place of business should not be considered to be of a purely temporary nature.
6.2 Also, there may be cases where a particular place of business would be used for very short periods of time by a number of similar businesses carried on by the same or related persons in an attempt to avoid that the place be considered to have been used for more than purely temporary purposes by each particular business.

Pureed fruits are nice. You can feed them pureed meats, if your family eats those. (...) You just need to mash it up and puree it a bit for babies. We also want to make sure that we avoid foods that are not giving babies vitamins, proteins, and minerals. (...) Now you can adapt this over time so when you first introduce foods, you need to puree them but you can adapt the texture a little bit as the babies grow a little bit older.

Natural Resources and Governance: Incentives for Sustainable Resource Use. (...) Not incidentally, governance is GTZ’s annual theme in 2004. Relative to purely technical aspects, the political and the institutional dimensions of our practical work have grown to be more and more prominent. (...) We analyse incentive mechanisms that foster the misuse and overexploitation of natural resources, and identify approaches how to direct these patterns towards a more sustainable development in a market economy context.

People didn’t appreciate how lucky they were to have this pure source of groundwater, or the seriousness of water issues. (...) For example, businesses which will impact natural resources are obligated to compensate. They must plant trees to safeguard the watershed, or take some equivalent action.
(...) The initiative ‘Basin wide groundwater management using the system of nature’ was awarded with the Category 1 'Best water management practices' Water for Life UN-Water Best Practices Award in 2013.
