Local is Our Future

We’re delighted to announce the release of Local is Our Future – a book that connects the dots between our social, economic, ecological, and spiritual crises, revealing how a systemic shift from global to local can address these problems simultaneously.

Distilling the wisdom gleaned from her four decades of activism in both the global North and South, Helena Norberg-Hodge lucidly deconstructs the old narrative of ‘progress’ through technological advance and corporate growth, while presenting a concise and compelling case for economic localization.

Her arguments are supported by real-world examples proving that – beneath the radar of the mainstream media and far from the fetishized techno-utopia of Silicon Valley – healthy and vibrant futures, built upon connection to nature and community, are already in the making.
