Local Living Economies

Local Living Economies are community-based economic systems that prioritize local businesses, producers, and resources to strengthen the local economy. Instead of relying on distant corporations or global chains, these economies focus on supporting local entrepreneurs, farms, and artisans. This approach fosters economic resilience, preserves community character, and encourages environmentally sustainable practices. By keeping money circulating within the community, Local Living Economies promote job creation, social cohesion, and a more equitable distribution of wealth, creating a healthier, more connected and self-reliant local environment.
