PROMOTING LOCALIZATION GLOBALLY
Local Futures is a pioneer of the worldwide localization movement. We raise awareness about the power of ‘going local’ as a key strategy for restoring ecological, social and spiritual wellbeing. Our films, books, toolkits, blog, podcast, webinars, workshops, conferences and campaigns are helping to build an international movement for systemic change.
