#71 Go Local, Think Global with Helena Norberg-Hodge

Tahnee welcomes Helena Norberg-Hodge to the podcast today. Helena is a pioneer of the New Economics movement and has spent many years studying the driving forces behind why our economies are failing us, and what we can do about it. Helena’s perspectives are informed by a systems based approach and coloured by the many years she spent in Ladakh, part of the larger region of Kashmir, where she watched global capital completely transform entire communities. Today's chat is deeply insightful and informative, for anyone interested in creating a global community where we all thrive

Tahnee and Helena discuss:

-Helena's journey and the time she spent in Ladakh as the catalyst for her path into activism.

-Food and human centred supply chain.

-The problem with neoliberal multinational global economics.

-How small business is threatened by the global economic model.

-How change needs to occur at both an individual and systemic level.

-How we can create sustainable systems at the local level by drawing on insights from the global community.

-Technology as a part of the problem not the solution.

-Helena's upcoming online event, World Localisation Day.
