June 21, 2022 - World Localization Day
Localization is a rescuing movement brought from the economic field to the human scale, that values the local production of goods and essential services for a community.
Growing business with local resources enhances cohesion within communities, and it promotes wellness and health, while it decreases the impact on the natural world, allowing regeneration to happen.
