grassroots economics

Grassroots economics refers to economic initiatives and practices that originate in local communities rather than from top-down policies or large organizations. It emphasizes community-led solutions to economic challenges, focusing on sustainability, mutual support, and fair trade. This approach often involves cooperative businesses, local currencies, and bartering systems that aim to empower individuals and promote economic resilience. By prioritizing local needs and resources, grassroots economics seeks to create more equitable and sustainable economic systems, enhancing the well-being of communities and fostering collaboration among their members.
