Localisation

"Localization is ... the process of building economic structures that allow the goods and services a community needs to be produced locally and regionally whenever possible.  Localizing economies can strengthen community cohesion and lead to greater human health and material wellbeing, all while reducing pollution and the degradation of the natural world.  

​It is not about isolationism or putting an end to international trade. It is simply about rebuilding human-scale  economic structures by producing what we need closer to home.  
From community gardens to credit unions, from alternative learning spaces to small business alliances and co-ops, local economies create networks of place-based relationships that affirm our human desire for connection to each other and to the earth"
