Key Concepts (& Spanish)
A Living Economy
Ensures that economic power resides locally, sustaining healthy community life and natural life as well as long-term economic viability.
Living Economy Communities
Produce and exchange locally as many products needed by their citizens as they reasonably can, while reaching out to other communities to trade in those products they cannot reasonably produce at home. These communities value their unique character and encourage cultural exchange and cooperation.|
Localization
Restores the capacity of communities to sustainably feed, clothe, house, and power themselves with the know how, natural resources, and financial capital inherent to their own bioregions and the people who reside there.
