International Development

Using engineering to alleviate difficult environmental situations, I have worked in Africa and Central America, before becoming a Diving Instructor and exploring The Indian Ocean.

Sustainable development

Knowing there was important lessons to share in what I had learned so far, my next challenge was obvious. I sought advocates to help me test the idea… and eventually we began to design and develop an independent sustainability research center based around energy technologies. This became known as Il Parco Dell’Energia Rinnovabile, or P^e̲R for short. This has been an incredibly complicated process.

Now

Based deep in the heart of Italy our sustainability research center has become a relaxing oasis – but it wasn’t always like this.

Then

There’s much more going on than just an interesting building in a beautiful, tranquil setting.

During the management of P^e̲R, it became apparent to me: technology over-promises and under delivers. I realised, Humanity has made a lot of progress – but it has become too intensive.

Humanity’s footprint sinks under its own weight! – Alessandro Ronca on progress becoming needlessly intensive.

Conscious Resource Allocation became critical to the success of the center. By being mindful of supply-needs, we developed systems without sacrificing comfort. As P^e̲R evolved, so did society’s environomental concerns. Today, it is accepted there is Climate Crisis.

The true value of technology to Humanity is when it provides more benefit than cost, this can only be achieved in equilibrium with our environment. - Alessandro Ronca on environmental impact

Man and planet in harmony

To act in coherence with nature, we must use engineering, the natural sciences and also practice developing our own, inner-technology. I call this: The Human Component.

The Human Component is to live fully, in coherence with nature. It is the correct use of our mind and body to improve well-being be happy and live better. It is focus – it guides our efforts.

The Wim Hof Method helped me face cold, harsh winters, develop focus and strengthen my creativity. Now, I want to share this knowledge for other’s to benefit.
