South Royalton, Vermont, USA 2017

Conference

Localize It:
What Resilience Looks Like

This two-day conference was held on October 21st and 22nd, 2017 at the Chase Community Center of the Vermont Law School in South Royalton and was co-organized by Local Futures, BALE (Building A Local Economy), Vermonters for a New Economy, Sustainable Future Fund of the Vermont Community Foundation, New England Resilience and Transition Network, and the New Economy Law Center.

The conference included both plenary talks and breakout sessions on important aspects of the shift to a new economy: food and farming, energy, education, finance and banking, local business, equity and justice, democracy, media, and more. In addition, there was a focus on adaptations to this region’s climate and resources by both its indigenous cultures and the farmers and artisans of more recent immigrant cultures.
