# News & R&D — current updates

Two feeds, kept current on their own subdomains so updates never disturb the main
site: **news.earthreturns.life** and **rnd.earthreturns.life**.

## News (news.earthreturns.life)

Earth Returns Group companies manage press, PR and the system components — including
the AI technology implementations.

- **Living Economy Fund LP nears regulatory approval.** Approval is expected in late
  June or early July 2026; the fund subdomain will carry detail as it becomes
  shareable. (In formation.)
- **AI technology implementations across the system.** The group manages the system
  components, including AI tooling that helps scouts and Improvers navigate the work.
- **Press & PR managed in-group.** Media, partnerships and announcements are handled
  by Earth Returns Group companies and posted on their own cadence.

## R&D (rnd.earthreturns.life)

Earth Returns R&D established and built the PIE and continues to develop it.

- **Foundational:** Earth Returns R&D built the Proven Improvement Evaluation.
- **Funded:** larger funded projects with research universities and other
  organisations are extending and validating the method.
- **Continuous:** the 330+ data-point framework is refined on cycle as new
  ecological and social signals prove their worth.
